Assessment
Pilgrimage Score
An artistic and experiential assessment, not a feasibility verdict.
Acquisition cost, restrictions, availability, intervention freedom, access and practical risk will be assessed separately.
Judgement
The Clerk's Assessment
A more experimental Clerky candidate. At about 1,248 sq ft and £55,000 it satisfies the basic scale and price tests, and its broad single-storey footprint could permit a radical studio-house intervention. It is not beautiful and has little landscape presence, but the corner position, frontage and low entry cost make it worth retaining in the register as a deliberately different typology.

Due Diligence

Immediate Risks
Single-storey building with limited intrinsic architectural drama. Intended residential/artistic use may require significant planning and design intervention.
Context
Place & Access
Landscape / Setting
