The site originally had two houses which were joined together in the 18th century. The first house was brick and dated to the mid-18th century. A plastered house dating to around 1795 was then added to this house.
Both of these houses were demolished in 1963 and replaced by another house. This has now also been demolished and replaced with the current house.
