Appraisal
This house, built c. 1900, retains its early character and form. The variety of texture and materials employed in the construction and façade of this house make it an unusual feature in the rural landscape. Its symmetrical form is enhanced by the paired central chimneystacks and porch and by the regularly spaced window openings. Its façade is enlivened by decorative features such as the platband and quoins and by the timber sliding sash windows. It is an interesting feature in the landscape to the southeast of Ballinalee.
