A t-shaped cottage on The Street of varying age located to the north of Image; the wing abutting the road was built in the 17th century, that to the south out of shot was added in the 18th, whilst the northern portion is a modern extension. All the cottages lining the road from the south of The Twitten were originally part of Albourne Street believed to have been created as a settlement around the 15th-16th century by the lords of the manor of Bishopshurst, who resided at what is now Bishops Place to the south of the village.
