Description
This simple building is prominently positioned at the front of its plot and is visually prominent
within the streetscape. Despite later extensions to the rear, the simple form of the building, its
steeply pitched roof (which may indicate that it was originally thatched), irregular fenestration
pattern and strong solid to void ratio suggest that this building may have much early origins and
therefore be of interest. The simple character of this building render it visually attractive and it
forms part of a group of historic buildings found throughout the village which are small in scale and
simple in form, outline and articulation. Local Heritage Asset in conservation area (1).
