Appraisal
An eye-catching roadside dwelling which is an excellent example of the vernacular building tradition. The characteristic thick rubble stone walls, corrugated-iron roof and irregularly placed openings are notable features. It would appear to have been used as a pair of houses in the past, though was in single use in more recent years.
