History

Outbuilding, probably converted in later C18 from an earlier C17 farmhouse, either the original farmhouse or a separate dwelling. Built downslope with upper end chimney, and attached by a later link to the end of the C18 lofted cow-house and stable to E. Now owned with the farmhouse and separately from farm-buildings to E.
Probably earlier C17; part of a substantial estate farm. This was probably the original farmhouse, replaced in later C18 by the larger farmhouse opposite; however it could possibly have been a Dower-house.
