Appraisal
Built in several phases, this house retains many interesting features and materials, such as the terracotta ridge cresting, oriel window and cast-iron wall vents. The front elevation is further enhanced by the porch with doubl- leaf door flanked by render pilasters. Though in a state of neglect the conservatory and oriel window reflects the grandeur which this house once boasted. The setting of the house is enhanced by the related gate lodge, entrance gates, house and outbuildings.
