Appraisal
This fine, well-proportioned, house retains a significant amount of original or early fabric, attractive cobblestone paving being an important survival. A particularly fine, formally-planned, farmyard is also of considerable architectural interest, it too retaining original cobblestone paving and a very attractive west range with unusual half-hipped gable-front adding greatly to the value and integrity of the site.
