Description
Detached three-bay two-storey house, built c.1830. The house is finished in render. To the north side there is an early 20th-century single-storey extension. To the south-east there is a grouping of farm buildings. The timber panelled front door has an elliptical-headed spider’s web fanlight; this is now covered with a recent gabled porch. Window openings are flat-headed with replacement top-hung timber windows. The hipped roof has natural slate and extruded aluminium rainwater goods. The building is set within a wooded garden.
Appraisal
The change of window frames combined with the addition of the porch disguise the fact that this is an otherwise well preserved early 19th century farmhouse. Its well maintained original setting adds to the composition.
