Situated in Grove Place, some 120m SE of the beach in Little Haven.
History
Early C19 house shown on the Walton West Tithe Map of 1841 as an inn, owned by Judith Phillips and occupied by William Crum. Little Haven was called a 'celebrated bathing place' in a sale advertisement of 1814 for a newly built substantial house of 2 bedrooms and 3 parlours, built for the late Rowland Laugharne of Orlandon, St Brides.

Large three-storey, three-window main house with concrete tiles and stone end stacks, flanked asymmetrically by 2-storey wings with slate roofs. Outbuilding running W from front of S wing.
Main house has hornless sash windows with stone voussoirs and slate sills. 6-pane attic windows, 12-pane elsewhere and centre 6-panel door. Left wing, possibly orignally a lofted carthouse has C20 rendered left end stack, two large C20 12-pane first floor windows and ground floor centre cambered-headed cart-entry and small 6-pane window to right.
