Appraisal
Located within its own grounds this well-proportioned country house is a notable example of mid-nineteenth century rural architecture with symmetrically placed windows and a central door opening providing a focus for the façade. Its traditional character has been retained by the use of historically sympathetic materials used during recent renovations.
