Appraisal
The pleasing symmetry of this house is complemented by the paired chimneystacks, and the finely carved doorcase, the latter clearly the work of a skilled craftsman, adding interest and giving the façade an decorative focus. The site is archaeologically significant as it also contains the well preserved remains of a fine tower house.
