Began as a peasant's house in the 1300s: Historians have generally had low opinions of peasant houses describing them as "hardly more than crude huts" and "primitive...for the most part (houses) were small, with one or two rooms for people and animals alike."

Fourteenth-century peasant house, St. Mary’s Grove cottage, Tilmanstone, Kent. Originally of one storey, the house has retained the studs of the medieval partition that divided it into two rooms, and the framing of the window wall.
