Appraisal
Possibly originally built as an estate office of some kind, the formal proportions and finely crafted limestone detailing of this little building are typical of nineteenth-century estate or demesne architecture. It stands out within the streetscape for the quality of its stonework and single-storey height on a street largely composed of two-storey buildings.
