Appraisal
A fine classically proportioned house, that is an excellent example of architectural fashion in the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries. The entrance is an eye-catching roadside addition. It is a fine example of an unassuming Georgian gateway, displaying simple detailing in the ball finials and coping, while the incorporation of the gate lodge is also noteworthy.
