Statement of Interest

B Group with remaining houses in row (with the exception of the adjacent Poltarie). At one time a telegraph office, this cottage is now entirely residential. Completing the picturesque terrace which stands at the centre of Longformacus village, overlooking the Dye Water, its significance lies in its prominent corner siting.
