Appraisal
A picturesque late nineteenth century house which retains much of its Gothic Revival character, seen particularly in the Tudor arch door opening, oriel windows and carved timber bargeboards. While a building appears on the site in the first edition Ordnance Survey map, this building has a different plan and later character.
