Appraisal
An interesting house which developed in two identifiable phases to form an irregular picturesque composition. The later block is distinguished by strong architectural features such as tripartite Wyatt windows, canted bay window, and decorative bargeboard, contrasting with the plainer detail of the earlier house, typical of earlier rural houses. The house forms an interesting group with the surviving related outbuildings, gate lodge, and entrance gates.
