A heritage impact assessment was undertaken in association with proposals to convert the redundant farm buildings at Middleton Court Farm into offices and workshops. A 17th or 18th century date is suggested for the initial development of the farmstead. The individual buildings are described in detail. <2>
A designation application for the farmstead was considered in December 2019 by Historic England. This provides an analysis of the cart shed. Syables, shelter sheds and covered yards. Although they may have had C18 origins, the evidence suggests that the building complex underwent a major phase of renovation and redevelopment in the mid to late C19. ->
-> The decision was made not to list the farm buildings. The two principal barns on the site - the S barn [see PRN 34831] and the E barn [see PRN 34832] were both listed at Grade II. <3>
