Pepper Street was built in the early 17th Century and was originally a Yeoman Farmer's house. By 1918 it had been converted into three half-timbered and thatched cottages. Sold by the Milner Estate in 1918, it was described as having good gardens and orchards, each having a living room, two pantries and a privy. It was let to Mr John Lightfoot, Mr L. Summer and Sarah Lightfoot. Rentals on the three dwellings amounted to sixteen pounds five shillings.

In 1951 the houses were modernised and converted in two dwellings. In the ceiling, old beams of oak and pine were found and wattle-and-daub was discovered behind the plaster. Thatch is always vulnerable to fire, and when the inevitable happened, the owner was too nervous to have the house re-thatched. In 1988 the house was once again a single dwelling owned by Marjorie and Jeremy Sandys-Wynch, and was re-thatched.
