Mid 18th century Grade II Listed farmhouse. Summerdale was Springfield Farm, occupied in the 19th century by Henry Grimes II who appears to have moved out in the late 1880s to make way for his cousin William Grimes who had fallen on hard times. The 1891 census suggests he is here with farm foreman, William Pacey and family, and three lodging waggoners. It seems William Grimes was, in the early part of the 20th century, a local part time tax collector. The property is now a substantial refurbished 5 bedroom, 3 reception room home.
