Appraisal
A well-proportioned middle-size house retaining most of its original form. However, extensive renovation works in the late twentieth century have led to the loss of much of the original fabric, which has compromised some of the historic character of the composition. Nevertheless, the house remains an appealing feature in the landscape, and forms an important element of the architectural heritage of the locality.
