Starr House is a Grade II Listed thatched cottage dating back to the 16th century. The current accommodation includes three first floor bedrooms and a WC, kitchen/breakfast room, dining room, sitting room and bathroom on the ground floor. Listed building consent and planning permission have been granted for the demolition of the redundant former garage building and the erection of two new single storey dwellings, located to the rear and to the right of the existing cottage. Both new dwellings will provide two bedrooms and a study, two bathrooms, a kitchen and living space. Provision has been made within the new planning consent, to provide parking for two vehicles for both the new properties and Starr House.

The footpath that previously crossed the property has been diverted freeing up the rest of the plot for potential development.
