Appraisal
This house retains much of its original form and structure which is enhanced by features such as blocked eaves course, limestone sills and internal shutters. The pedimented limestone portico is clearly the work of skilled craftsmen, and it also adds artistic interest to the building. The house, together with the outbuildings and entrance gates forms a group of interesting demesne structures.
