Appraisal
This former miller's house forms part of an interesting group of structures. It is typical of middle-sized houses of this era with hipped slate roof and a regular, symmetrical façade. The subtly diminishing windows emphasises the vertical thrust of the building which counteracts the horizontal of the roofline. The house retains its original form and structure including tooled limestone Gibbsian surround to entrance.
