History
In 1913, Dr Holland and Dr House purchased Lot 58 to build a maternity hospital. However, disagreement between the doctors resulted in Dr Holland taking over the land and building his house. (Dr House went on to build Coleraine Maternity Hospital - refer A2626)
Edward and Sarah Gilbert purchased the house from Dr Holland and named it "Uffcott" after Sarah's mother's hometown in the UK. In 1936, Mr Gilbert, who was responsible for opening the first chemist shop (1905), died (aged 44).
In 1936, "Uffcott" was then sold to Mrs Jessie Sandwell (nee Cheetham), for her parents to live in when they left Datatine farm to come into town. After Mr Cheetham died, Mrs Cheetham continued to live at "Uffcott" with her companion, Mrs Williams. When Mrs Cheetham died, Jessie rented out the house for the next 30 years or so, until both herself and her husband, Albeit James (Jim) moved into the house after leaving their farm "Orana". The Sandwell's grand-daughter, Mrs Leisha Wood now lives in the house.
