Appraisal
A modest but well-proportioned mid nineteenth-century house, which is built using good quality stonework. It retains its original form and aspect as well as most of its original fabric. Located in a prominent position on one of the main approach roads into the village, this dwelling contributes positively to the streetscape and is a worthy addition to the built heritage of the local area.
