Modern mapping shows some development, with additional structures added to the north and south of the older building, which has itself also been extended at the southern end.

The original source gives the following grid reference for this feature SX 776 859 but it is suspect as there is no sign of such a building within a 100m radius (or wider). It appears likely that this is a typo and the building, which is noted as being at 'Doccombe' should have been noted at SX 776 869 where cartographic sources have recorded a farm building from the 19th century onwards.
