Appraisal
A Classically-composed, middle-size house of symmetrical proportions which retains its original form and character. It is enhanced by the many historic features, including the distinctive tripartite sash windows, timber panelled door, and slate roof. The modest-scale attendant outbuildings retain their historic appearance and materials, and together with the related gate lodge, contribute to the building's context.
