Appraisal
A two-storey vernacular farmhouse of formal appearance but following the direct-entry plan type with off-centre door position and originally with blank ground floor rear walls. It retains a strongly vernacular character emphasised particularly by the thickness of the walls and its position entered directly from the farmyard. The complex contributes to the understanding of the county's vernacular tradition.
