History and description

edit

The farmhouse dates from the mid-17th century and was altered, internally and externally, in the 19th century.[1] The barn is 18th century in date,[2] and the cider house also dates from this period, although it was originally a cow barn and was converted into a cider house in the 19th century.[3]

The farmhouse is constructed of local rubble, which has been rendered. It is of two storeys, with attics and a basement, and with a slate roof.[1] The "unusually well-preserved interior" contains plasterwork dating from the time of the original construction.[1] The farmhouse is Grade II* listed,[1] with the barn[2] and cider house having their own Grade II listings.[3]
