A note from the site themselves...

Palemead House was built back in the 1930's by the then owners of Waterloo Farm. Originally the bulding was in the form of two farm cottages, you can see the original toilet block at the rear of the origial building.

The two homes were converted into one home back in the 1980's and ultimately sold along with a small parcel of land comprising of the small field and a coppice. The current owners (Phil and Suzy) moved here in 2018 and carried out various works and modernisation to the property.
