Appraisal
The formal and symmetrical façade of this classically-inspired house is enlivened by the ornate entrance with its decorative fanlight and finely-made pilasters. The house has been extended to the west and unusually has a hipped roof to one end. The render details to the windows and the plat band serve to emphasise the form of the building. The yard and outbuildings add context to the site and form part of a working farm. The piers retain their finely carved caps and gates and form a pleasing roadside feature.
