There have been many alterations to the farmhouse; however most of the basic late 17th - early 18th century structure appears to survive. In addition to the building itself there are many early 18th century fixtures and fittings which merit preservation. These include the staircase in the south range, the single surviving original window in the west wall of the south range, the window seats in the east range, and a number of doors, architraves and cornices throughout. Much of the early woodwork may well retain original finishes under the present paint/varnish, and this should be taken into account when considering any future re-decoration. The site is likely to have been occupied since the medieval period, and although the existing buildings are no earlier in date than the late 17th century, the remains of the re-used 16th century crock in the west cob building suggest the former presence of buildings on the site. Monkerton Farmhouse. Probably late 17th century or earlier origin. Farmhouse now consists of two properties but was originally one house. The present building is U-shaped consisting of a late 17th century south range with an east range to the north which may be an ealry 18th century addition & a late 19th century range to the west.
