Building record 1483300000 - Church Leys, Peggs Lane

19th century building prominently located along the main street through Buckland. Provides a visually attractive foreground to views of the church gained from the junction of the main road and Peggs Lane. May have originally been two cottages. Unclear whether the building was originally labourer’s cottages associated with Manor Farm or associated with Rothschild Cottages along Peggs Lane. Two storeys with shallow pitched gable roof laid in slate. Mid-ridge chimney stack. Rendered. This building is significant because of its prominent location and its position within the immediate setting of the church. It is also significant as one of a group of 19th century buildings found within the village that reflect a period of agricultural prosperity during the late 19th century. A 'Local Building of Note' within the Conservation Area of Buckland (B1).
