George and Helen Fowler bought this vacant plot in 1982 for £22,500 and in 1983 George built Temeraire single-handedly and lived there until 2000 when he and Helen bought and moved to Woodbine Farm after the death of Frank King.

Horns Lodge
Horns Lodge is situated just outside of the Stansted Parish boundary within the Parish of Ash-Cum-Ridley. The property dates back to the 14th century when it was a two-room hunting lodge and in 1620 was extended to include a new chimney, an inglenook fireplace and somewhat larger rooms. The property was then used as a farmhouse and continued as such until 1890 when the property was sold to the Pettings Estate Company and used residentially. It was Grade II listed in 1982.
