Appraisal
Apparently one of a set of three houses built for workers by a local land owner, at a cost £62 each. This house retains much of its original character seen in the retention of the timber sash windows, timber bargeboards and slate roof. Its roadside location allows it to make an attractive and notable addition to the surrounding area.
