Appraisal
The small windows, rounded corners and simple finish of this house are typical of traditional thatched dwellings. The irregular fenestration reflects the interior plan of the structure and forms a key part of the character of the building. The outbuildings are also characteristic of the vernacular tradition and are of similar form and materials to the main house.
