Its Georgian façade displays all the hallmarks of the period: a beautifully symmetrical elevation, tall sash windows arranged in balance around the central entrance and understated detailing that allows its handsome proportions to speak for themselves. It is a house that has clearly held an important place within the village for generations. Although not listed, the house is recognised within the Shottisham Conservation Area as an 'unlisted building making a positive contribution' to the village's historic character, with its original front railings specifically referenced within the Conservation Area Appraisal.
