Scary! Is it still standing?

Apparently so, though it's missing a chimney. They obviously built 'em sturdy back then.

I completely misread that as 'a horse round the corner' which was...interesting.

Wow. I hope it stays away from you.

Oh! Do houses here not routinely have lightning rods on the top? I never even thought to look. We believe our house was hit once when I was a kid--it was a summer thunderstorm and the fan running in my room CAUGHT ON FIRE--but the rod would've sent most of the charge fairly harmlessly into the ground.
