Recorded in the OS Name Book as a "...commodious farmhouse 2 stories high with suitable offices and a row of small cottages. Also attached ...a vegetable garden and a large farm." The differing rooflines suggest the rear range predates that which is now the entrance block. Rutherfurd notes a Mr John Elliot as farmer here in 1866.
