Appraisal
Unusual asymmetrical façade to house, enlivened by timber sliding sash windows. Enhanced and contextualised by several outbuildings to east, their simple unadorned forms dictated by their practical purpose. Interesting long undressed voussoirs to carriage arches. Entrance with cast-iron gates add visual interest to roadscape.
