Marked on the Lydford Tithe Map as a tenement at Hexworthy; 1117 on the Apportionment. 'Dwelling house, barn, Court and Garden', owned by Jacob Hannaford, occupied by Edward Chaffe.
The large irregularly shaped east-west aligned dwelling is near the lane, with two outbuildings shown to the north-east and east of the house. The former is a large, narrow, north-south aligned (?barn) and the latter is a small, square structure on the eastern boundary of the farm, near the lane leading north-eastwards onto the moor.
Ordnance Survey, 1880-1899, First Edition Ordnance 25 inch map (Cartographic). SDV336179.
The later 19th century historic map shows some major changes to the farm; the dwelling is gone / changed function and has been heavily altered or replaced. More buildings have been added along the northern boundary of the farm, the ?barn has been extended and the small building on the eastern side is not longer shown.
