Evaluation

Detached four-bay two-storey vernacular house built c.1830. It is largely intact with most of its historic fabric and detailing surviving, and as such it is of special interest as a representative of the rural vernacular, much of which has been lost. The house is preserved within its original setting and and farmyard to north-east, which contirbutes to its overall character.
