This fine farm house has maintained much of its historic character through the retention of historic fabric including a fine slate roof, diminishing sash windows and cast-iron rainwater goods. It is representative of a type which was once found throughout the county but is now increasingly rare. While the heritage significance of grand country houses is now readily recognised, the importance of more modest, traditional dwellings which represent the lives of ordinary working people is often overlooked.
