Appraisal
This substantial house was built by the Tipping family, who also built in the earlier mid eighteenth century original house. They had been living in the locality since the seventeenth century. The house is an excellent example of classically inspired eighteenth century architecture. The excellent proportions, central breakfront, and fine doorcase are characteristic features.
