Historic Environment Record entry
Originally a Georgian style building, which was altered so much in the 20th century that it is not a listed building
Old Jersey Houses
The brief entry in Volume One records the presence of one of only two examples of an "in and out trough". It is a large, rough granite trough built into the wall under a window so that it can be filled inside and emptied outside and vice versa. It may have been used to reserve clean water for use in the kitchen or a receptacle in which kitchen scraps were put in to be collected from outside to feed farm animals. The house also has a round arch.
