Historical information
A house on this spot is described in the 1835 Valuation as measuring 30ft6int x 17ft x 8ft high. By 1863, it had become two storeys high. Whether the original house was raised, or a new one built is uncertain, but to all intents and purposes, the present house is of mid 19th C date. According to the 1863 Valuation book, it was “set furnished for summer months”.
