There are suggestions that this building originated in the late medieval period, was considerably enlarged in the 16th century and completed in about 1600. 

The building was initially a small house which was increased in size and is now 2 dwellings. The external walls are constructed of squared and coursed grey lias and random red rubble sandstone. The south gable is rendered and has a short stone chimney stack at the apex. 

We were appointed by the PCC of Holy Trinity Church, Christchurch to undertake a survey and provide a report on damp issues reported by the tenant. The survey identified multiple contributory issues. As a result, work was carried out to the building which included the replacement of the cement render to the gable with new lime render. The stonework was repointed locally using a lime mortar and improvements made to rainwater disposal including replacement of the inappropriate uPVC installation with traditional cast iron. In addition the gable end chimneystack was dismantled and rebuilt using new and salvaged stone and included the installation of new leadwork. All of the work was carried out following Listed Building Consent approval from the Local Authority.
