Appraisal
This excellently maintained early-nineteenth century house retains an interesting and varied fenestration reflecting its evolution into its present shape. Of particular note are the tripartite windows, attractive traceried west window and the exposed sliding sash box to the west elevation. The bow ends and finely-executed elegant doorway add further interest.
