Appraisal
This well composed, middle-size house of reserved Georgian appearance retains most of its original form and character, together with important salient features and materials. The decorative portico, possibly a later addition, enhances the picturesque value of the composition, and incorporates well executed render detailing that augments the architectural quality of the site.
