Appraisal
The irregular spacing of the windows, chimneystacks and windbreak are indicative of the vernacular nature of this building. The modest decoration and garden wall add interest to the site, as does the retention of the timber sash windows and cast-iron sill guards. The house and related outbuilding form an interesting group, which makes a positive contribution to the roadside.
