History

Earlier C19 vernacular house with later C19 additional cottage, in stone-walled front gardens. Marked on OS drawings of 1816-19.

Reason for designation

Grade II as good example of a well proportioned early C19 estate house, with the second house sympathetically added in the later C19, to form a good vernacular group.
