The stores have probably been trading here for some time, although unlikely to go back quite as far as the house, which is dated 1703 http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/5735094 . Rose Cottage, with the thatched roof, dates from around the same time, but has been substantially modernised. Both buildings are Listed Grade II, Rose Cottage for group value only.
