Listed building
This cohesive farm group shows developments over the centuries, each building with a strong character.
The most historically and architecturally significant is the four-bay house, with 15th century origins and alterations made in 1735 and later. The 1881 outbuilding is also a fine example of its type.
Shown on the Richmond Map of 1795.
