Appraisal
Built by the Watson family within the Butler Estate, this important example of a late seventeenth- or early eighteenth-century house retains significant early features including thin vertical openings, timber box sash windows, a notched brick cornice moulding and battered walls. The original character and form of the building has been largely preserved, a rare unaltered instance of the building techniques employed in middle-sized houses at this time.
