This tenement probably originated as an enclosure from manorial waste. Such enclosures were typically long, narrow roadside strips on which cottages were often constructed by the new owners. The present house dates from the second half of the 17th century and it is likely that it was built by one of the early tenants, either William Carpenter or Robert Keale. John Cheesman appears to have had a small nursery adjoining the southern part of the cottage in 1737. The house was formerly called Slutts Garden Cottages. It lies close to an area of land known as Slutts Garden - a name suggesting that the land was exceedingly muddy.
