Appraisal
This house retains some interesting details such as timber sliding sash windows. The scalloped roof tiles to the porch are an interesting and unusual subtle decorative detail. The turntable base in the footpath to the north is a surviving feature of the adjoining, now redundant, forge which would once have been a key service to the village.
