Full Description
The 2003 Conservation Area appraisal for Bossington and West Lynch advises "Across a small paddock, Caversham and Hillview appear externally to be 19th century estate cottages with paired porches, but actually consist of a single late 16th century two or three cell house with cross passage and rear semi-rounded stair turret. It was divided into the present cottage pair in the mid-19th century." [1]
