Appraisal
This simple design of this vernacular house is embellished by the windbreak entrance, a typical feature of such houses. The irregular window arrangement reflects the plan of the interior. The attached outbuilding was also formerly thatched, the thatch now covered under corrugated iron, and adds considerably to the context and interest of the site.
