Dating back to at least 1882 according to the property appraisal report, the house was partially renovated in July 2026, with a new kitchen, wash basin, shower room and toilet, as well as selected interior improvements and underfloor heating in the kitchen and living area. Much of the original structure and finishes remain exposed, giving the property a distinctive mix of restored and raw historic character.
