Appraisal
The architectural design and detailing of this house are apparent. The regular form of the building is enhanced by carved timber detailing of the window mullions, and by the console brackets and entablatures. The house forms an interesting group with the related demesne structures. This group exhibits many interesting forms, features and materials which are representative of the nineteenth century demesne architecture.
