Appraisal
The siting of this thatched farmhouse, facing into a small yard at the end of a long avenue, is very typical of vernacular farmhouses. Its simple thatched roof, with lines of scolloping and low chimneystacks, together with the retention of timber sash windows, make this a good example of the county’s rural architectural heritage. The outbuildings enhance the setting of the house.
