Extended at both sides in the early 21st century. The initials http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/5735118 on the cottage possibly refer to the Hartopp family who were associated with Scraptoft Hall. Credit to the architect responsible; unlike most modern pastiche of traditional design, where stretcher bond brickwork is a give-away of the newness, here care has been taken to reproduce the proper Flemish bond pattern, even though the 'headers' are probably only a half brick deep. There is a bench mark http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/5735116 just to the left of the passage under the building.
