Statement of Interest

With its timber sash and case glazing, columnar porch, shouldered- and round-arched openings and timber panelled door, this gabled villa has retained a significant degree of architectural interest. A roofless, random rubble outbuilding is situated to the rear, whilst the S gatepier is fractured. The Ordnance Survey map refers to the house as "Teighard".
