Front door not seen. Limited front site enclosed by rubble limestone plinth wall, erected c. 1860, returning on a curve to meet the front elevation, with limestone coping and cast-iron railings.

Appraisal
This detached house appears to predate the neighbouring structures, and possibly the road. In scale, materials and form it is set apart from the local typologies. The low horizontal emphasis of this detached house has a distinctly rural character, which is today set within a Victorian and Edwardian context. The plinth wall and railings are late nineteenth-century in date.
