Building record 7198/4/4 - Convent Cottage

Associated with Bryn Hafod which was built in the late 19th century

{4} Initial residential development on the outskirts of Kettering as a rural suburb, with Bryn Hafod being built by the architect J.A.Gotch shortly after 1896 for Charles Wicksteed, local businessman and entrepreneur.
The house is approached from Hall Lane via a driveway adjacent to the cottage. This cottage was not accessed but is externally unaltered and the interior apparently remains unaltered according to the occupants. There is an associated brick shed that appears to be contemporary.
