house — LINSFORT matters for the exact reasons given in its official assessment, rather than merely because it is an old structure. The source records: A good example of a once common medium sized mid nineteenth-century house, retaining its original architectural detailing, including the slate roof and timber window sashes. The two opposing doors to the porch are an unusual detail, perhaps to allow a door to be opened irrespective of wind direction. This explains what the place adds to local life, the street or the surviving built history.
