Appraisal
An interesting historically layered farmhouse that evolved over the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, retaining its form and historic outbuildings. Its long, horizontal form, is enhanced by the early twentieth century windows that add to its character. The outbuildings provide a fine display of local stones in both the dressed and rubble construction.
