Appraisal
This house and public house addition retain much of their original form and structure, the façade of the house part being enlivened by the dormer windows with ornate ridge crestings matching those of the main roof. The retention of timber sliding sash windows contributes to the integrity of the building and the large panes are typical of late nineteenth and early twentieth century work. The pubfront is a finely-crafted element of the complex, with the decorative pilaster capitals, well-wrought railings, chamfered window surrounds and skilful lettering. The accompanying outbuildings and post box add to the setting.
