The Estate Agents brochure describes the farmstead as a 'magnificent range of Victorian stone farm buildings'. The planning consent states 'these buildings are exceptional in that they represent a virtually untouched farmyard of the later 19th century'. The buildings are principally constructed of stone under slate roofs and arranged around a large central courtyard with an arched vehicle access on the north side off the road. On the south side of the yard is the cider house and threshing barn together with the adjoining grain store. The cider house and threshing barn is L-shaped, two storeyed and principally of cob construction under a slate roof. Within the building is the original cider press. There is an adjoining single storey building which was probably the round house. On the west side of the yard is the cattle barn which is constructed of stone walls under a pitched slate roof. The mango barn situated on the north west corner of the courtyard, is also of stone construction under a pitched slate roof. On the north side of the yard is an open fronted cattle barn and adjoining this a stable building with loft over. On the east side of the courtyard there are further buildings again of stone and slate construction and open fronted. In the centre courtyard there is an existing building of stone walls under a corrugated iron roof. The approved plans show this building as being partly demolished and turned into a parking area.
