Blackadon Farm, farmhouse. A modern building with extensive outbuildings built on three sides of a square. Of black and grey granite and yellow sandstone from fields nearby. Good condition.
Probably nothing left of old buildings, although first mentioned in 1311 and formerly known as 'Blacket' and 'Blackaton' (approximately 1845). Register of land of that year shows a medium size estate with 'house, yard & offices'.

It is thought that the 1978 source on this record is referring to two farmsteads – the reference to the older farmstead mentioned in 1311 is believed to be the original Blackadon Farm, shown on the First Edition Ordnance Survey map (approximately 1880), but was destroyed by the construction of the hospital at Moorhaven in 1891. The existing farmstead dates to the late 19th/early 20th century, first depicted on the Second Edition Ordnance Survey map (approximately 1905).
