Appraisal
An well-proportioned farmhouse retaining its original setting and outbuildings. The relationship of the house and outbuildings in close proximity is typical of traditional rural buildings. Its relatively substantial size, symmetrical design, and hipped roof is suggestive of a prosperous middle sized farmer. Retaining much of its traditional character and charm, the house and outbuildings add to the county's architectural, agricultural and social heritage.
