According to the website information, the accommodation provided is in the 500 year old farmhouse, fully renovated in 2012. Images from the site show the farmhouse, which does not appear to have retained any original windows and the only obvious internal features retained are some exposed wall surfaces.
Ordnance Survey, 2018, MasterMap 2018 (Cartographic). SDV360652.
Modern mapping shows the house at Cheston, currently (2018) also providing Bed and Breakfast services, as part of the 'Cheston Farm Equestrian Centre'. House appears to have been totally refurbished (see website source) and may not have retained any original fabric.
