Appraisal
A classic vernacular farm house which has been extended in a linear pattern as needs required. Much of the original architectural detail has been preserved . The annex would appear originally to have been thatched. The survival of its sash windows and slate roof, and the retention of its scale and proportions makes it a good addition to the architectural heritage of the area. The surviving farmyard context enhances the appreciation and setting of this rural property.
