Box Tree Cottage, number 1 Sutton Road, is an 'L' shaped building from the 17th or possibly the 18th century and was probably originally two small buildings. Constructed of painted rubble stone under a thatch roof. Later additions are of painted brick, with slate roofs. Listed, grade II, with details at: https://historicengland.org.uk/listing/the-list/list-entry/1148070 Preston is a coastal village, a suburb of Weymouth in Dorset, some 3 miles northeast of Weymouth town centre. The village has a long history of settlement, with the remains of a Roman temple and a Stone Age hill fort, Chalbury Camp. Preston has strong links with the Wesley family, the founders of Methodism. South of the village, towards the shore, are a number of highly unattractive holiday parks.
