Appraisal
An interesting and substantial house now sadly derelict but retaining features of interest including remnants of sash windows, internal shutters and front door. The attractive doorcase provides an effective central focus to the main elevation. Sensitively restored with the slate roof reinstated, this building would represent an integral element of the built heritage of the local area. The outbuildings to site add to the setting and context.
