The house shown in the other photograph in this grid square is now undergoing a refit, with a number of contractors vehicles on site. This small hamlet is just a stone's throw from the village of Upton Cross, the other houses seem to be fairly modern with the exception of Upton Manor and Upton Farm. The proliferation of hamlets in Cornwall is a result of a historical preference for small groups of dwellings rather than expanding villages, and Cornwall's old local council policy of establishing 'Rural Gaps'.
