Appraisal
These attractive vernacular farm houses are enhanced by the retention of features such as the slate roofs and varied window types. The fenestration rhythm reflects the interior plan of the structure, which is one room deep. The courtyard, which comprises the extension to the west and outbuilding, provides context to the site.
