The explanatory plaque on the side wall of the house reads: "The ancient house was restored in 1934. The building was at that time very deformed and the 1934 repairs retained the building in its settled position. The 2001 restoration re-established the integrity of the timber frame and as such re-aligned many of the timbers. The wall at ground level at Orford Road was built in 1934 to look as it were deformed Tudor brickwork. This 1934 architectural conceit, which was executed superbly by the bricklayer, has been retained as part of the history of the house"
