Full description
A large regular courtyard farmstead with L' plan element and working buildings to three sides of the yard. There are historic detached elements to the north and south. The farmhouse is detached and located to the north away from the working areas. More than 50% of the historic plan form has been retained, although modern buildings have been added to the area around it. (DAT, 09/02/2015) <1>
The farmstead is marked on the 1" Ordnance Survey map of the mid 19th century and the location of the farm is indicated on Yates' map (1775) suggesting that, whilst the buildings may be later in date (cf. PRN 51005, PRN 58288, PRN 58289), a farm complex probably existed on this site by at least the mid 18th century. (DAT, 09/02/2015) <2> <3>
Modern mapping and the 2006 aerial photography suggests that the complex has been converted to a craft centre. (DAT, 09/02/2015) <4> <5>
