This is a modest, vernacular timber cottage that retains authentic period features — VJ wall boarding, original window glazing and simple decorative gable detail — making it of local historic interest. It is not architect-designed or particularly original in form, but it would reward careful, sympathetic restoration rather than wholesale redevelopment.
