Historical Information

There are houses on this plot from the first edition OS map of 1833. The current house appears on the third edition of 1905-6 replacing an earlier house with a similar footprint. Although the appearance of the new house cannot be deduced from OS maps, valuation records and survey evaluation support a date of construction of c.1880. Griffith’s valuation records buildings on the plot as occupied by Timothy Shaw and leased from Thomas Black. They are valued at £1.5s. In 1883 James Cooke becomes the occupier and a note of 1894 states ‘house built a few years, slate, 36x21x15’ The value of the plot is consequently raised to £2.15s. James Cooke becomes the owner in fee in 1906. In 1933 valuers note that the house comprises a ground floor of two rooms, a kitchen and pantry and a first floor of ‘one room subdivided into four’.

Evaluation

Detached three-bay two-storey rendered house, built c.1880. The house forms a representative example of a grouping once common in rural areas. However, it is of a late date and the loss of original fenestration and detailing has compromised its architectural and historic interest.
