Hi Jayne,
thanks for your kind words, sorry I couldn't be more specific to your house with the history. However seeing your reply I'm confused now ("situation normal" here then !)

Are you saying that your house is not the same Brambledean as is marked on the 1973-74 maps ?. I say this as I cannot make anything out clearly from the 1955 map due to it's scale ?
As your house is described in the estate agent notes as "end terrace" I'd assumed it was the far (northern) end of the terrace marked Brambledean which adjoins the larger "square" Broadoak House to the south (as I said I don't know the village personally so cannot picture it for sure as you can, looks like the Brambledean terrace was opposite a Methodist Church towards the west/railway ?).

Is this correct ? Altho not named Brambledean this same terrace is clearly shown on all the maps back to 1884.

Or are you saying your house is an addition to this terrace towards the North, and isn't marked on the pre 1955 maps at all ?. Having said this I've just looked at the satellite photos on Google Earth and to me the buildings look pretty unchanged from the maps, the "end terrace" looks to have some fine large lawns, is this yours, it's just next to "Riverside House" to the east which I suspect is now a care home.

I must admit if your House was 200 years old I was a little surprised the estate agents details that I saw, assuming they're the same property of course, didnt mention this history in any obvious way.

ANYHOW, I'm glad I've helped if only a little, shame the Deeds aren't too clear.
Good luck in your continued research and may you enjoy your new home for many years.
