The simple design of this vernacular house is embellished by the irregular window arrangement, which reflects the plan of the interior. Features such as the timber sash windows help to preserve the original appearance of the house, which forms an attractive example of a traditional dwelling, surviving largely in its original form. The house makes a positive contribution to the architectural and vernacular heritage of the area.
