NHER 49979 (Building record) - LeGros Cottage, Low Street

The walls in the central section of the house have flint bases. The upper sections are constructed of brick with diagonal skintlings, dating it to some time before 1770. The house was extended to the south using bricks with horizontal skintlings. The older section of the house may have been raised in height at some point. A large off-centre stack has some evidence of a thatched roof. There have been recent external alterations to the property. The date is impossible to judge from the exterior except that is must be from before 1770. The stack suggests that the core of the house may have a much earlier date.
