The farm was in existence by 1840 from the Tithe Map of that date. The farmhouse has a late post-medieval type of architecture. This building is a conversion into cob of a style of architecture which is demonstrably more suited to brick. It may represent an example of one of the last full-cob buildings to be constructed in this part of Devon. The high cob walls are far too exposed and a slate roof has been subsituted for thatch. The farmhouse and barn fell into disuse when the smallholding was swallowed up by a larger farm.
