Appraisal
This house is unusual in architectural design. The irregular bow windows to the front of the house enliven its appearance while it also retains notable features such as the timber sash and tripartite windows. The outbuildings are a reminder that the house is the centre of a working farm and contribute to the overall setting of the site. The possibility of the building incorporating a medieval structure is notable.
