The building was also extended to the north with a large addition, added c. 1900 (probably at the same time the porch was built). Thatched vernacular dwellings, once common throughout the country, are becoming increasingly rare, which makes this

The single-storey outbuilding to the north-west of site also survives in good condition and may be a former corn threshing mill (Ordnance Survey twenty- five inch map of c. 1900). The arrangement of outbuildings\former dwellings and a further vernacular house with thatched roof in the immediate vicinity to the north-west (see 40805008) suggests that it formed part of a small nucleating settlement or clachan.
