Summary

A range of buildings dating in part to at least the late 18th - early 19th century, based on cartographic evidence. The north-eastern end of the range shown on the Tithe Map survives, along with a mid-late 19th century wing, extending to the south-east, originally enclosing a yard area (now mostly built over with modern structures). Carved granite fragment in the northern side of the barn is thought to have originated from St Nicholas Chapel.
