Appraisal
A late nineteenth-century vernacular house sited in what was a small vernacular settlement. It is not shown on the Ordnance Survey first edition six-inch map of c. 1837 but is on the 1897-1913 map. Although now in poor condition, it is one of the last houses to be built in the area in the classic vernacular tradition. It retains most of its original features, slate roof, horned timber sash windows and the original timber door.
