Appraisal
A pleasant middle-size house identified in the streetscape by the distinctive massing whereby the bias of solid to void is considerable. Subtle rendered dressings contribute variety to an otherwise austerely detailed composition while the retention of most of the historic fabric enhances the character of the house. The survival of a range of modest-scale attendant outbuildings contributes positively to the group and setting values of the site in the street scene.
