Appraisal
Small irregularly spaced windows, sheltered site, and outbuildings forming a yard nearby evidence of the vernacular origins of this house. Corrugated-iron replaced thatch as a vernacular material on many structures in the twentieth-century, adding texture and contrast. Retains timber sash windows.
