Appraisal
An attractive group of modest-scale farm outbuildings of some vernacular significance, as identified by the local materials employed in the construction, together with the informal arrangement about a courtyard. Each building retains much of its early form and character, and the group as a whole contributes to the visual appeal of the locality.
