Early 17th century Grade II Listed timber-framed former farmhouse listed as Magdalene House and Dove Cote. The current OS map shows the building split with Dove Cote as the right (west) section with reduced roof hight. Obviously split at some stage (as listed in 1982), it is now a single dwelling. It was originally part of Magdalene College Farm. Many of the farm buildings have been pulled down over the years and in 1986 Magdalene House underwent major renovation work. In 1982 planning approved extension to the kitchen (just in view). The adjacent Loxley Barn seems to have been converted to an annex in 1989 followed by conversion to studio/office in 1995. Extension to dwelling was also included in the same approval. In 2005/2006 the annex was further converted for B&B accommodation that now appears to be no longer available.
