Information received from owner 2025:
The porch was added in 1870s and the canopy is formed from the pulpit of the porch removed from the church when it was demolished and replaced in around 1875. Around the same time, the two attic windows were added in the front roof, as the attic rooms were used for domestic servant accom. The house itself is believed to have been built around 1803.
