Full Description
Farmstead, still in use, depicted on historic OS maps. The 1st edition shows a U-plan steading, open to the south, with two buildings to the south. To the north is a pond and sluice, with lade leading to the east side of the steading. The layout is essentially unchanged on the 2nd edition map, although the west wing of the steading had been extended to the south and there had been other small additions. There have since been further alterations and additions and the pond has been infilled.
