Appraisal
This house, although now apparently disused, is an attractive building that retains most of its original form and character. Renovated in the late twentieth century, the rubble stone construction has been revealed – while this serves to distinguish the house on the streetscape, prolonged exposure to the elements may have a negative impact on the fabric. The house retains many important early or original salient features, including timber fittings to the door opening and multi-pane timber sash fenestration to the first floor having timber panelled internal shutters. The house has a positive impact on the streetscape of Main Street, continuing the established roofline of the street while contributing to the varied roofline of the terrace.
