Appraisal
Large and imposing form makes a very significant and highly visible features within extensive landscape. Steep hipped roof and breakfront add to imposing appearance and regularity of façade is carried through in symmetry of openings and the retention of timber sash windows to most front façade. Piers and gate to entrance enhance site.
