Despite appearing much older, this cottage in Balcombe Gardens was only built in 1924. Nevertheless, it is considered important enough architecturally to be locally listed. It was designed by local architect Blunden Shadbolt (see http://www.blundenshadbolt.co.uk/ ), an Arts and Crafts specialist who used recycled materials where possible, to give his buildings an appearance of age. It was originally lived in by Henry Harrison Stockdale Ross, a local solicitor, whose firm he founded is still practising (see http://www.rossandson.co.uk/ ).
