Appraisal
This modest house, set back from Knockvicar Road on the eastern limits of the former Rockingham Demesne, may have been an estate worker's cottage associated with the former estate. Its simple form, with projecting gable fronted porch, differs from the surrounding vernacular structures. The house remains intact and is embellished by the diamond-paned windows.
