This middle sized late eighteenth-century house retains a strong sense of its original character, which is enhanced by the retention of timber sash windows and spoked fanlight. Square-headed windows arranged around the central doorway regularly punctuate the simply designed façade. The group, comprising house and associated outbuildings, is pleasantly located on a site recessed from the road.
