The Tithe Map shows Elliot's Hill (Buckland in the Moor, plot 5). There are four buildings all rectangular, all aligned roughly south-west by north-east. Two are bordering the road (presumably one of these was the house). Owned by Sir John Leman Rogers Baronet, occupied by Edward Smerdon.

The late 19th century depiction of Elliott's Hill farm shows the farm has been redesigned; there are no signs of most of the previous buildings depicted on the Tithe Map. The house is a large, roughly L-shaped dwelling lies near the road, with two associated agricultural buildings to the south and south-east. It's probable that the north-western wing (aligned south-west by north-east) may preserve old fabric from an earlier farm building.
