Appraisal
A modest-scale house exhibiting a complex plan form, thereby indicating a prolonged period of evolution over the course of the twentieth century possibly having origins dating back to at least the mid nineteenth century. Having been sympathetically renovated the house continues to present an early aspect, thereby making a positive contribution to the character of the local landscape.
