HA’PENNY COTTAGE, 6 STURT ROAD

Owners -Maureen and Derek Parks

Built in approx 1837, this was once a Lodge House, and for 35yrs the home of the Toynbee family. Once a fish shop (fish delivered by donkey!) the property was bought by the current owners 7 yrs ago. The garden, only then divided from No 8, was mainly laid to grass and neglected.It currently reflects the age and style of the cottage. Derek has a small but thriving vegetable patch, and Maureen’s pots and hanging baskets provide a display of summer colour.
