This house, which has been well maintained and which retains most of its original form, is a fine, symmetrically-planned substantial building composed of Classically-derived graceful proportions. The house is of importance due to its contribution to the low-lying quality of the streetscape in the centre of the village of Sallins. The house retains many of its original features and materials, including a slate roof, while the re-instatement of timber fenestration might restore a more accurate representation of the original appearance of the structure. The house, together with its neighbours in the terrace, is an attractive feature from the canal to north and is of some social and historic significance attesting to the development of the historic core of Sallins following the establishment of the canal in the locality.
