Appraisal
This substantial eighteenth-century house is notable for its relatively tall first floor windows. It retains many of its timber sash windowsand though derelict, retains a simple dignity. It is important to the social history of the area, having been the residence of the family of Nathaniel Lowe between 1783 and 1837.
