Map

(S1) describes this as a grey brick detached house; two pairs of slightly arched windows downstairs; upstairs have flat heads. Two over two sashes without horns. Porch on east side. Low garden wall of same date missing former railings from its stone coping. To west a higher grey brick wall has recessed rectangular panels. (S1) refers to sale particulars dating from February 2011 which suggest this house dates from 1837 and was a lodge to Plaxtole (Glaisdale) House. The property is visible on (S2) and a drive to Glaisdale House from Exton's Road does run past it. However, the date of 1837 seems a little early given that Glaisdale House is thought by (S3) to date from around 1875, and that the Goodwin's Fields development, of which this forms a part, was not proposed until 1842. There is nothing marked at this location on (S4).
