Appraisal
This is an excellent example of a typical vernacular house of the district. It retains its original form and much of its historic fabric such as a thatched roof and timber sash windows. The building is well maintained, though presently vacant. Its strong historic form, along with its pleasing visual appearance, makes it an important part of the vernacular heritage of the area.
