Farmyard slopes gently from west to east. A stream runs behind the yard, to the north. A complete, planned early 19th century farmstead with a superior south range, which has projecting eaves at the gable ends with evidence of plastered soffits. The wagon bay has the remains of a lime plaster finish to the underside of the roof. The farmer remembers working with horses and the production of cider and butter for the local market. Horse engine house, now a cattle shed, to south of former threshing barn. Planned courtyard. Roughly square yard with range to south, comprising a threshing barn, open wagon shed, lofted stable and former cider house with apple loft above. The north and east sides are formed by shippons, the east one was once open-fronted. The farmhouse is to the west, with the road behind. The cart shed and the pigsties are outside the yard to the north of the house. There is a horse engine house to the rear of the barn. Farmhouse forms west side of yard. Modern farmyard surface.
