Appraisal
This handsome well-proportioned early-nineteenth-century house was built as a glebe house. It retains many of its original windows, including a round-headed sash window with attractive sunbeam fanlights, the retention of original fabric further enhances all elevations of the structure. Symmetry and the ornate door opening to the centre of the main elevation give this building a restrained elegance which has both architectural merit and social significance to the area.
