Appraisal
A charmingly situated elegant nineteenth-century house of pleasing proportions and balanced symmetry. This house exists largely in its early form and retains much of its original fabric including a robust carved timber doorcase and timber sliding sash windows with decorative horns. The decorative side entrance is an interesting and noteworthy feature. The house, its outbuilding and entrance gates form a pleasant group in the landscape.
