Historic Environment Record entry
Listed building
Farm group with 18th century origins. It retains its historic character and farming features such as the in-situ apple crusher, and the fabric of the farm buildings remaining unaltered.
The integrity of the plan of the house remains, along with many historic features, despite the house being extended in 1936. It presents as a coherent group.
A house in this location is shown on the Richmond Map of 1795.
The pedestrian and vehicular access round arches on the roadside seem to have been separated and are possibly from an earlier 18th century house on the site. The main house was extended to the east by two bays in 1936.
Thatched outbuildings to north were raised and slated in 1914.
The two-storey three-bay farmhouse is set back from road with adjoining outbuildings on road to the north returning east to form the U-shaped farmyard.
There are detached single storey outbuildings at the east end of house. To the rear of these, further east, is a row of pigsties connecting to a two-storey bakehouse.
Outbuildings retain a Jersey range, brick paviours, cow byres and apple crusher. The bakehouse retains a corbelled fireplace with bread oven.
