‘(76) HOUSE, at the intersection of West Borough and Blind Lane, is of two storeys with brick walls and tiled roofs. The nucleus of the building is an early 18th-century cottage with a three-bay E. front; it retains wood-framed two-light casement windows with leaded glazing. A wing on the W. of the original range was added c. 1800; extensions on the N. and S., together with two sashed bow windows, are probably of slightly later date. Inside, the plan appears originally to have been of class T. The stairs have turned balusters and cut strings with scroll-shaped step spandrels.’
