Appraisal
A well-composed Classically-proportioned middle-size house presenting an early aspect with the original composition attributes intact together with substantial quantities of the historic fabric both to the exterior and to the interior, thereby making a positive impression in the centre of Windgap. Early iron ware further enlivens the aesthetic value of the composition in the streetscape while an attendant outbuilding contributes to the group and setting values of the site.
