Note that this is not necessarily the house your John French lived in. Most likely this was the house where the farmer, Simon Anton, and his family lived. The grieve (farm manager/overseer) would have lived in a separate household elsewhere on the farm.
Never trust anything you find online (especially submitted trees and transcriptions on Ancestry, MyHeritage, FindMyPast and other commercial web sites) unless it's an image of an original document - and even then be wary because errors can and do occur.
