Appraisal
Much character is retained in this early nineteenth-century house, with its timber sash windows, limestone sills and centrally-placed door. The over sailing eaves anchor the building, while the diminishing window sizes create vertical thrust. The four-bay rear elevation makes the most of its garden outlook. Along with its accompanying outbuildings, it is a fine addition to the surrounding landscape.
