According to the estate agent's particulars this corrugated iron building was once a cabbies' office in the yard at Victoria train station and was moved here in the late 1800s (pre-dating the surrounding houses). Previously home to the 'Shed Gallery' I don't expect it will remain vacant for long as the village is extremely popular with tourists. (Might it be a cabman's shelter rather than an office?
