This farmstead has been transformed, in 2001, into a cluster of homes and gardens. The old farmhouse has a particularly interesting history and the double-fronted cattleshed, of which only a remnant survives, was an unusual and spectacular building. Double yard. The steading had four farm buildings, a poundhouse and threshing barn, a shippon, an old farmhouse and an L-shaped double-fronted cattleshed, loosely grouped around the yard. There was a small, cobbled stockyard to the east of the cattleshed, in the angle of the two ranges. In 2001, the buildings were converted to homes and walls built across the yard to delineate property boundaries. The north range of the cattleshed has been demolished. The old farmhouse formed the south boundary of the yard. In 1815 a new farmhouse was built outside the yard, to the south of the old farmhouse. The yard is now converted to gardens for the converted buildings.
