Appraisal
This outbuilding is an attractive rubble stone structure that represents the traditional method of construction in the mid nineteenth century – the construction in locally-sourced rubble granite is a feature shared with a number of further buildings in the locality. Although altered in the late twentieth century the outbuilding retains some of its original form and character.
