Appraisal
This modest, yet attractive, farmyard is a relatively intact survival. The pegs built into the walls are evidence of a former roped thatched roof, now replaced by corrugated-iron sheeting. The house has retained its early character and timber sash windows and the adjoining stone outbuildings make a fine vernacular farmyard grouping.
