This feature is recorded in the English Heritage Historic Area Assessment for Cliffe Parish. The report states: "By the late 18th century Cliffe consisted of a two long rows of houses and cottages along both sides of Church Street with housing continuing along the north side of Rye Street (later Reed Street) and outlying grouping along West Street…Wharf Farm farmhouse at the end of Wharf Lane survive from this period…The 18th century a period of seemingly renewed affluence for much of the Peninsula, is also comparatively well represented by a number of red-brick, two-storeyed buildings: No 185 Church Street with 19th century shopfront; Quickrills, also on Church Street, with gable parapets and end stack; The Red House on Reed Street with timber modillioned eaves cornice; and the farmhouse of Wharf Farm at the end of Wharf Lane formerly separated from the village but now linked by recent housing."
