Appraisal
An attractive mid nineteenth-century house, of modest architectural aspirations, which maintains its original character and form. The arrangement of the window openings and the position of the chimneystacks indicate that this house was extended to the south by one bay at some stage. This well-maintained house retains a great deal of its early fabric, including an appealing and visually interesting glazed porch. The good quality iron railings to the entrance, which are a fine example of traditional craftsmanship and ironmongery, enhance the setting and complete this composition.
