Appraisal
The farmyard complex remains an integral part of a working farm and contains many notable structures, which are well-constructed and retain much of their form. The numerous vehicular entrances are of particular note and there is evidence of fine stone-crafting in their voussoirs. The buildings retain notable early materials such as the slate roofs and timber fittings.
