The property was known as Robins Farm. It was re-named Robins Cottage when Mr Scrimgeour of Stedham owned Knapp House and the farm buildings across the way.
Between 1860 and 1903 the front addition, now the sitting room, was used as a school room. The upper room was used to make coffins.
In a 1919 sale of the property it described Robins Cottage as 'a convenient cottage near Robins Farm. Built in stone with a tiled roof and consisted of a large sitting room, kitchen, scullery, larder, pantry, bake house, woodshed, three bedrooms and a box room, a good garden pigsty and well water'.
