A farm with a double yard, separated by a lane. The barn and stable range, which is attached to the farmhouse is late 18th-early 19th century, but has been converted to domestic use. Double yard. The main yard is to the south of the farmhouse. The Tithe map shows that it was enclosed on four sides, with a small way through at the northwest end, between the house and a cattleshed. By 1889, part of the south side had been demolished to allow a larger entrance from the road. The yard has not changed in plan since this time. On the east side there is a barn and stable range, and to the west side there are cattlesheds (originally open-fronted), which return for a short distance to the south. The original way through has now been infilled by an extension to the farmhouse, which forms the north side. Over the road, at the bottom of the main yard, there is a second yard, with a cartshed and linhay and modern sheds. Both traditional buildings are post -1840. The tithe map shows a range of buildings bordering the road, and another building on the east side, which have all now disappeared. Modern farmyard surface.
