Appraisal
This is an elegantly composed early nineteenth-century house which expresses a sense of grandeur that belies its relatively modest size. The building retains many interesting features including timber sliding sash windows and a doorway with a decorative overlight. The group, comprising house and associated outbuildings, is pleasantly located on a secluded site set well back from the road.
