Appraisal
This thatched farmhouse is very significant for the retention of its traditional interior, especially its large canopied hearth. The retention of the thatched roof and of small-pane timber sash windows greatly contributes to the character of the farmhouse. The folding timber door is a rare feature. This is an excellent example of an intact vernacular farmhouse.
