Appraisal
A handsome, modest house of some architectural invention including distinctive dormer window and half-hipped roof. Well maintained, the house retains its original form and massing, together with important features and materials, which enhance the historic quality of the composition. It forms a group with the adjoining house and the adjacent outbuilding. This building may have been built in association with the nearby former former Maypole Creamery and Knocklong Condensed Milk Factory. The house remains an important component of the townscape of Knocklong, contributing significantly to the character of the locality.
