Appraisal
An attractive, well-proportioned, house forming the centrepiece of a substantially-intact, middle-size land holding. The house is identified by distinctive features characteristic of the Regency period, including the reserved Classically-derived detailing, and the overhanging eaves, all of which enhance the architectural value of the composition. Well maintained, the house presents an early aspect with much of the original form intact, together with a number of important salient features and materials. An attendant gate lodge, although apparently disused, presents an historic aspect, and contributes positively to the group and setting qualities of the site. A pleasant gateway of simple design distinction enhances the visual appeal of the street scene. The estate is of particular importance in the locality, having been occupied by Robert Shaw (n. d.), manager of the nearby industrial complex, in the nineteenth century.
