Historical Information

A house is shown on this site on the OS map of 1834 which probably corresponds (for the most part) with that standing today. The building was of insufficient value to have been noted in the valuation of c.1837, but in that of 1861 it recorded as belonging to a Sarah Anderson. The extension to the rear was added c.1960s.
