History
Grouping with other sites
Similar to the Wolwedans farmhouse, but less significant and a less elaborate example.
Evidence of Demolition
Contextual Design
Poor contextual design - all other structures are modern and there is no clear spatial or architectural
logic to their placement
Invasive Elements
New, double storey buildings surrounding farmhouse detract.
