A C20 gabled timber part-glazed porch now encloses the door. Trefoil opening in stone triangle in gable apex. Contemporary service buildings including stable to rear right. One of 40 similar Chartist houses in Dodford built mainly on four-acre plots by the Chartist Land Company. As on other Chartist estates each small-holding was intended to provide its occupant with an independent livelihood and the opportunity to qualify for a County vote. This example is notable for the survival of its rear service and out-buildings. (W Bond, From Hamlet to Parish, 1972).
