All the building materials characteristic of this part of the Fen edge are part of this cottage: flint, chalk clunch, carrstone, brick and pantiles. This is the lowest point of Hythe Road and although there is no obvious watercourse the front door seems to be kept permanently on a flood footing, with a flood gate erected and sandbags piled up.
