Comment:  One of a scatter of erstwhile farmhouses around the village of Tettenhall.  One or two other surviving houses seem to have been built, or to have been re-styled, in the early nineteenth century.  This work may have been done by industrialists fleeing the smoke of Wolverhampton for the fresh air of Tettenhall.  If so, they were early starters in the movement which reached flood-like proportions at the end of the century.
