Appraisal
A well-appointed, substantial house distinguished by stylistic features including a canted projecting bay, which enhance the architectural value of the composition. Although extensive renovation works in the late twentieth century have led to the loss of much of the original fabric, and to the erosion of some of the early character as a result, some important salient features and materials survive intact, both to the exterior and to the interior, which enhance the historic quality of the site.
