Appraisal
This vernacular house and outbuildings are rare survivors, illustrating the scale, form, and detail of modest rural dwellings from the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries. The thatched house and its associated farm buildings form a picturesque element in the rural landscape. It contains original details such as the windows and door, complete with original latch.
