The position and context of the wall between the current kitchen and conservatory (demolition of which was monitored) in relation to the site boundary suggests that this represents the infilling of an oddly-shaped area left over between the house and the curving site boundary. As such it seems most likely to be either contemporary with, or later than the house.
The wall contained no dateable features, but the manner of its construction, without separate dressings, using lime mortar, and with timber lacing set into the wall to provide fixings for a door frame, are not suggestive of great antiquity.
The house is of a classic late 18th-19th century appearance with a simple 2-storey double fronted elevation facing south-west, sash windows with six over six glass panes, no sash horns and panelled reveals either side of a central doorway. A spine wall divides the building into a rough ‘double-pile’ plan, but under a single roof. It is likely that the outbuilding is either contemporary with or later than the late 18th-19th century building.
