History

One of a group of cottages and houses in Cottage Orne style for the Trevalyn Estate while it was under the stewardship of John Boydell. The buildings along Marford Hill were completed by 1820, building phases of 1814 and 1816 are suggested by Trevalyn accounts. In 1814 Julius Flowers Constructed a pise cottage and it is possible that some of the buildings are partially of this material. The house is attached to rear farm buildings with a continuous roof line suggesting that it may represent the remodelling of an earlier building, hence the irregular plan. Extensions added C20.
