I was perusing England's webcams one day and came across this one in Horsted Keynes, West Susssex.  It is such a charming house with its half-timbering and all those chimneys and I'm curious to know its story.  I've done some research but have found no further information about it.  If any of the POE members can shed any light on this house's identity or information about it, I would love to hear it.  Thanks!

Probably a private house, and the people that host the webcam of the village add no further information bar add a photo of it in 1910 as well. But, as a guesstimate, I'd say the house dates back to the 1600's with later additions, such as those Victorian chimney stacks.

Thanks for your input, Paul.  I'm guessing you are probably spot on in your guesstimation.
