Appraisal
This is a handsome, modest and relatively intact house of the early nineteenth century. The new porch is a replica of an earlier porch c. 1900 which adds context and continuity to the building. The outbuildings with date stone provide further context and form part of a working farm. Together with the mature grounds and avenue with gate piers, they enhance the setting of the house.
