Full Description
On the OS 1st edition 1867 map it comprises a C-shaped steading around a rectangular court with attached horse-mill on the north, and a T-plan building, probably the farmhouse, with attached garden enclosure to the east. By the time of the 2nd edition OS map the east wing of the steading had been removed leaving a U-plan, open to the east. The horsemill is no longer shown. Recent aerial photographs suggest that the west and south wings of the steading have since been removed and replaced by modern buildings which also occupy the site of the former court.
