Appraisal
This modest house retains its attractive thatched roof, simple in its design, it is enlivened by the retention of early features, such as the sash windows and doors. It still retains it mud walling and timber sliding sash windows, the mud walling being of particular importance. As a house built in the vernacular tradition it is a significant contributor to the area's architecture as one of the few remaining thatched houses in the locality.
