62 Hay Street, The Tedders

This plot was part of the land that historically went with Orchard Cottage, 58 Hay Street. It lies to the north of No 58, where an area of land was divided into two plots in the mid-1970s and a new house was built on each. For the earlier history of the entire land please see the 58 Hay Street page

There is a right of way for access to 60 Hay Street across the south of this plot and with the construction of 58a Hay Street in 2013, that also has access via the same track. This access way is marked A to B on the location plan.

Going back to to the origins of this building plot, it was sold on 7 November 1972 by Pentewan Dock and Concrete Company Limited to John Spalding Bowyer, who had The Tedders built around 1974-75 and he and his wife Jaqueline M Bowyer were in residence by October 1976. The property was originally 44 Hay Street and became 62 when Hay Street was renumbered in 1977.

The house was built with an extensive cellar and the spoil from the excavation was piled as a privacy mound at the front of the plot, where there is also an old village pond and the water table is quite high and ingress of water into the cellar was a problem, solved by the installation of a drain and a permanent pump.

The Bowyers remained until April 1991, when they sold to Roger J & Sylvia M McCormick, who in turn sold to Mark James David & Clare Louise Holden in September 1998. The Holdens were still in residence in August 2022, when the property was marketed for sale.

On 5 August 2009 the Holdens had bought an area of land on the east side from ADH Developments LLP for £4000. This land was absorbed within the garden and the public footpath was moved to run to the east of the acquired land. No 64 Hay Street acquired a similar area of land at the same time, which facilitated the re-routing of the public footpath, that runs alongside the boundaries of both plots.
