Appraisal
This well maintained thatched house is a notable example of its type, fronting directly onto the road. It retains traditional features such as the steeply pitched hipped roof and irregular fenestration rhythm. The sash windows enhance the façade and add character of the house. Prominently sited and retaining its boundary walls and outbuildings, it provides a positive and interesting contribution to the roadscape.
