Appraisal
An attractive house of modest appearance and irregularly displaced openings, which retains most of its original form, although much of the original fabric has been replaced with inappropriate modern articles, leading to the erosion of some of the historic integrity of the composition. The attendant outbuilding has been well maintained, retaining important salient features and materials, which serves to enhance the visual appeal of the site. The gateway is of a simple, traditional design, and forms an attractive feature of subtle impression in the streetscape.
