Statement of Interest

An interesting group of buildings - the majority of which are still in use. Despite its replacement door and various additions at rear, the actual farmhouse has retained some good detailing, including timber sash and case windows, rolled skewputts and a dated slate roof. Furthermore, the simple single storey outbuildings remain good examples of their type. The later, circular-plan dairy, extravagantly detailed and linked to the house by a columnar walkway, is listed separately.
