Theatre Cottage, Easingwold by fishers

Theatre Cottage, Easingwold

Wandering around some of the quieter streets in Easingwold, I came across this attractive house. In some ways it looks old, but there are many modern features too. It has the traditional feel of many older houses in the town, but it does not appear on the 1950 Ordnance Survey map.

I'm particularly intrigued by the name though - Theatre Cottage. I wondered what link (if any) it might have had to the theatre. Sadly I haven't been able to find any history of the building online. Questions, Questions!

Delightful find and capture
Is it privately owned? What I mean is = do people live there?

It’s interesting how they’ve used different bricks.

Beautiful house. Very interesting name. Could it have served as a small theatre for the local community?

How frustrating when you need to know more! It's a beautiful building and so well done to give the appearance of being older than it is, fav.

Thank you for all your comments and favs, they are very much appreciated.

I haven't got any further with my research into this building, but I will keep looking. My first thought was that it might once have been a small theatre, but since it wasn't on a 1950 map revision, and must therefore have been built more recently, that seems less likely. Perhaps the people who live there have theatre connections. They certainly have a nice home in a lovely setting, surrounded by an attractive garden.
