Appraisal
This modest house is enlivened by subtle architectural details, such as the central breakfront, recessed blind arch with inset window, and imposing doorcase. The building is enhanced by the retention of many interesting features and materials, such as the timber sash windows and limestone steps. The related outbuildings and cast-iron gates contribute to the setting of the house.
