Appraisal
This house, built as one of three with two further houses to south-east (now substantially altered), is an attractive local authority house of the early twentieth century that retains most of its original character. The house is of social and historic interest as one of the earliest civic houses built in the locality, and it represents the small-scale dwellings inhabited by the majority of the population at the time. The house retains most of its original features and materials, including timber sash fenestration and a tongue-and-groove timber panelled door, together with a slate roof having cast-iron rainwater goods. Set back slightly from the line of the road in part-overgrown grounds, the house forms a subtle and attractive feature on the road leading out of Kilcock to the north-west.
