Appraisal
This medium-sized house retains much of its original form and fabric. Timber sliding sash windows are retained throughout, adding to its architectural heritage value. Tooled stone detailing, most notably in the original doorway, enlivens the façade while the outbuildings to the rear add contextual interest. Together with its associated outbuildings, boundary wall and gate piers this buildings forms a pleasing group in the landscape and constitutes a significant element in the architectural heritage of this area.
