Appraisal
This Georgian farmyard complex is an interesting example of planned farm architecture, complete with ice-house and ranges arranged around a courtyard. The ranges comprise a well-proportioned complex with entrance piers to leading to north-west and south-east and are enhanced by the retention of features such as slate roofs and timber windows.
