Appraisal
This vernacular house is most notable for its thatched roof. It is also enhanced by the retention of small window openings, typical of vernacular houses and which adds interest to the façade. The site retains its outbuilding, the roof of which is now clad in corrugated iron which replaced thatch as a vernacular roofing material in the early to mid-twentieth century. The rendered boundary walls with ornate piers enliven the setting of the house.
