Appraisal
This attractive farmyard complex, associated with Meeshal House, predates the early twentieth century house. It serves as a reminder of the wide range of demesne-related activities once associated with country houses. The buildings are built for a functional purpose with solid construction and few decorative features. They continue to be used as part of a working farm.
