Appraisal
Situated on a south facing slope, this fine vernacular farmhouse follows the gradient of the hill giving the structure a unique appearance. Much of this building's historic form and fabric remains including a traditional thatched roof and timber sash windows. Contrasting red brick voussoirs against the rubble stone fabric of the outbuildings enliven their appearance.
