This house, although altered in the late twentieth century, retains much of its early character - the relationship between solid wall masses and the small window openings provides a quasi-vernacular effect. The house is of social and historic significance, representing the early development of Prosperous as a planned village in the late eighteenth/early nineteenth centuries. The house is of importance in continuing the established roofline of the streetscape, while the re-instatement of timber fenestration might restore a more accurate representation of the original appearance.
