Summary

A post-medieval house, divided into two cottages. It was originally timber framed, with some possible 17th century features. In the late 18th or 19th century the house was altered and flint walls were added. In the mid 19th century the house was divided into two, a number of walls were rebuilt in brick and a second storey was added. In 2002 the house was derelict and was due to be demolished.

Map

December 2001.
House, apparently once timber-framed, mid-17th century of lobby entrance type. Extended and side walls clad in flint, reusing a lava quern fragment. Heightened about 1800.
Now derelict and proposed for demolition.
Report (S1) in file.

May 2002. Building Survey.
Survey prior to demolition.
Basically confirms above account, but suggests that building was aligned in the opposite direction - that service cell at north end where 19th-century section now is; and states quern fragment is really erratic.
See report (S2) for further details. The results of this work are also summarised in (S3).
