Appraisal
Occupying the position of earlier ranges indicated on archival editions of the Ordnance Survey, thereby continuing a long-standing occupation of the site, a farmhouse of modest architectural aspirations retains the original composition attributes together with much of the historic fabric, thereby making a positive impression on the character of the locality. An attendant outbuilding range of modest, almost vernacular quality enhances the group and setting values of the site in the local rural landscape.
