Today named 'Court Cottage', this building is the second largest dwelling in Bredicot village after Bredicot Court. The 'L'-shaped half-timbered house dates probably from the 16th century but was restored with brick work on its end wall in the 18th century. Its compact but interesting shape made it a subject that could be satisfyingly photographed from a variety of aspects. Turner showed it from both back, as in this image, and from the front.
