Appraisal
Fronting directly onto the main road, this thatched house is a fine example of an early vernacular house. Originally a smaller building, later extensions were added as they were required. The building has maintained much of its historic character through the retention of key historic features including a striking thatched roof, battered rubble and mud walls and timber sash windows. The building makes a positive contribution to the architectural heritage of the surrounding landscape.
