Property Overview - The oldest part of the house was erected in
1760 as a two up & two down around a central
chimney. It was thatched down to first floor
ceiling height. Sometime in the interim a leanto
was erected to the SE as a kitchen (with
door to the front garden) and what was known
as the virgin's bedroom above (now the Study
and Guest Bedroom with en suite) and another
lean-to to the SW of what is now the dining
room. Around the 1930s the front of the house
was lifted with brickwork, sash windows were
fitted and the roof to that elevation slated.
The Kitchen, Breakfast Room, and Utility
Room, with the family Bathroom, Airing
Cupboard, Bedrooms 4 and 5 above, were
added in the 1970s.
The property changed hands in 1975 and the
then owners removed the kitchen door to what
is now the study and fitted a window there,
installed a front door central to the sash
windows flush to the brickwork, fitted a dormer
window to the SW of Bedroom 2, a Georgian
window to the SW elevation of the Dining
Room and changed the thatch to peg-tiles.
They connected the modern kitchen to the
older part by removing the old 1760 stairs and
linking the landings of the two periods. At the
same time they added a matching peg-tile roof
to draw the two parts together more
harmoniously.
In about 1979, the studwork in the
dining room between the lean-to and the main
room was removed and the large elm beam
erected to enlarge the room. In about 1980
the 4 car garage with 3 loose boxes
to the rear was built.
