History

edit

The farmhouse dates from the early 17th century, with a large wing added in the mid-17th century.[1] A later block was added at the end of the 17th, or the beginning of the 18th century. A map of 1847 shows the farmhouse in the occupation of James Davies, who was farming 76 acres.[1]

Architecture and description

edit

The farmhouse is of stone and the chimneystack in the later block indicates that the upper parlour had a fireplace,[2] which is unusual for a building of this date and location.[1] The farmhouse is listed Grade II*.[1] The external kitchen, dated 1697, and the barn range have their own Grade II listings.[3][4]
