Statement of Interest

An unusually early survivor. The history and uses of this farm building may warrant further investigation, although evidence points to this having been originally 2 cottages. At least some of the openings are clearly later slappings. Steepness of the roof pitch may suggest an original thatch. The map of 1854 shows a larger quadrangular steading at Seggarsdean, subsequently demolished except this building. The associated house is post-1854.
