Appraisal
A well-proportioned middle-size house retaining its original form and much of its original fabric. Currently (2003) undergoing extensive renovation works, which have led to the distressed appearance of the house, it is projected that the house will be restored using traditional materials and techniques, while retaining much of the original fittings, which ought to preserve some of the historic patina of the composition.
