Appraisal
This house forms part of a former mill complex at the edge of Knocklofty Demesne. It retains timber sash windows and its slate roof. The tripartite windows and the fine cast-iron railings add interest to the site. Its roadside setting and the industrial buildings forming a backdrop, create a significant local landmark.
