Square-headed door opening to porch, painted smooth-rendered reveals, tooled limestone plinth blocks, painted timber double doors each with single vertical raised-and-fielded panel, wrought-iron bell-pull. Set at end of narrow driveway, surrounded by mature farmland.

Appraisal
This substantial house sits comfortably in its surroundings and retains much original and early fabric. The gate lodge, with simple balanced proportions and canted central bay, is also of significant architectural interest.
