NHER 49158 (Building record) - Marshland Villa and Villa Cottage

Marshland Villa; broken brick house of three bays two storeys, facing west; central door to façade later blocked and window arches collapsed. Dated 1871.
To west, Villa Cottage, small house facing south with north catslide; red brick. No buildings here on (S1) but present on (S2) as is the large brick barn to northeast aligned east-west; smaller barn connecting it with the cottage is not shown on that map, but there is a detached barn to the southwest which has since gone.
Interesting as example of how this area changed in 19th century from grazing marshes for the Seven Towns to arable fen.
