This view shows that a large percentage of the south-eastern range is now gone. The buildings that formed the north and eastern sides now stand in ruins. Other changes have also taken place; structure depicted as a horse engine house on the Tithe map is now gone, while new structures have been added to the north of the farm, to the east of the farmhouse.

One the modern map, those buildings that remain of the original south-eastern range are part of Kerslake Court; eastern end rebuilt but the range is now open on the northern side. Kerslake Farmhouse still stands and has been divided into two properties.
