Appraisal

The regular form of this house is enhanced by the render detailing to the front elevation. The rusticated quoins and door and window surrounds are skillfully executed and enliven the otherwise plain façade. The fine stone outbuildings are also noteworthy, displaying striking features like the oculus and central carriage arch opening. The wall, railings and piers to the road form an interesting entrance, exhibiting a variety of materials.
