Pair of cottages are shown on the 1840s Tithe Map; 1993 on the Apportionment; 'Two Cots', owned by Lady Carew, occupied by Samuel Woodley and others. Dwelling is shown as a pair of roughly north-south aligned rectangles, adjoining but slightly offset to one another. At right angles to the lane at the north end. Small outhouse structure at the southern end.
Ordnance Survey, 1880-1899, First Edition Ordnance 25 inch map (Cartographic). SDV336179.
Late 19th century historic map shows the building, which appears much the same as the Tithe Map depiction.
