Re: coach house, ascot way (broad oak fold)

Nathen Retlaw, If you look at the old photo (not the Painting)
of those houses to the right of the Barn you will see that the house adjacent to the Barn is the usual design of four equally spaced windows.
But the Building that replaced it has a totally different configuration of windows, not equally spaced and not all the same size.
it also was finished at its southwest corner (Sandy Lane end) with Large Corner stones all the way to the top. this wasn't normally done in the middle of a row, and there are no stones keyed into the barn.
The outer property was rebuilt at a later date and not at the same time and is also not keyed in anywhere, front or back
The roof lines of the two houses are different with the 1934 one being several inches lower than the other. The 1934 house is built of smaller stones than the other and if you look at Atarah's Picture you will see that the very end, smaller propery, has been demolished and rebuilt 90 degrees to its original site to accomodate the road. The original tall chimney which is clearly seen standing several feet over the roof of the original property. has been rebuilt and is now visible by only a few inches from the front. and that is why there is a Plaque which says 1934 because that was when the rebuild of that property was completed.
