Appraisal
An attractive small-scale cottage of vernacular significance, as identified by the low massing, the informal proportions and arrangement of the openings, and the thatched roof. Very well maintained, the cottage retains most of its original form and early character, together with important salient features, and contributes to the character of the locality.
