68 Mashey Road, Little Yeldham (EHER 80078)

The house at 68 Mashey Road is a Land Settlement Association house built between 1937 and 1938. It is a detached three-bedroom house to a standard plan designed by Pakington and Enthoven, but now much altered with a rear extension.

September 2016. Historic Building Recording. The house at 68 Mashey Road was built as a one and a half story, standard three bed unit between 1936 and 1937. The house was built as part of the Land Settlement Association (LSA), a government scheme and was therefore provided with outbuildings and a plot of land. The largest change made to the house is the construction of a two storey rear extension, probably in the 1970s or 1980s. This seems to have been accompanied by a complete refurbishment of the exterior and a remodelling of the interior at ground floor. The roof was renewed with concrete tiles present on both main house and extension, and the top of the chimney rebuilt. Inside the house, a new staircase has been built, and the scullery and third bedroom knocked into one to form a larger kitchen space. Outside, the outbuilding has been replaced with a new weatherboarded outbuilding of similar dimensions to the original. <1>
