Appraisal
This vernacular farmhouse has a unique character. The exterior is well presented and its openings show charmingly naïve stucco dressings. In recent times the roof was re-slated with ridge tiles being reused from nearby Springmount (see 14944010). Enhanced by various outbuildings, roof with slate and tin, the farmhouse is attractive within its setting.
