Appraisal
This house, in the style of a gentleman farmer's residence, maintains distinctive features characteristic of late Georgian architecture, such as elegant proportions and diminishing windows, all of which enhance the architectural composition of the piece. The external chimney flue is an early interesting feature, which enlivens the gable elevation. The house presents an early aspect, with much of the original form intact, together with a number of important salient features, such as the sash windows and limestone sills.
