most likly lol, when i posted it i thought "hmm my house was built around then...DOOOUP"

That's genuine Tudor half timbered. So we're talking about 1500-1575ish. I doubt if any of the dross they build nowadays will last that long.

omg...i was just thinking i wonder what it's like inside....lol
i'm gonna try to think back to where i was when i see this house and google the address, see what it brings up...lol

 

[Teeny]

i googled it and and a full view picture of it...lol

and some history about the village, but i just copy and pasted the bit about this house...this house is called...Pickmoss

From what I am reading i think it may have been built in 1307, but i could be reading it wrong.
_______________________________
Roman settlement of the area was well established and several sites have been identified within a 12km radius of the village. Roman bricks were found in the garden of Pickmoss, a house built for Flemish weavers in 1307 and a villa was excavated on the downs along the Pilgrims Way in 1926.
