House located by E. Rose (NAU) 30 October 1985.

(S2) in file before insertion of new openings indicate rear wall of flint has been heightened in brick in 18th or 19th century and possibly extended to the left at a much earlier date, though this may be an illusion due to blocked openings, of which there are a number including a door. One part blocked window cuts the brick heightening.
