Appraisal
Though derelict and falling into a ruinous state, this simple farmhouse retains a number of interesting features. Of note is the front porch, with its channelled render contrasting with the walls of the main building. Furthermore, the terracotta ridge cresting and stained glass provide decoration to an otherwise plain façade, with mature trees to its front, this house, together with its outbuildings, form an interesting group of farm related structures.
