An assessment of significance and heritage impact assessment were undertaken on the farmhouse and agricultural outbuildings at Keal Farm, South Ormsby, to inform their proposed restoration and refurbishment. The farmstead dates to the mid-19th century, and originally comprised a two storey farmhouse with a single storey service wing to the rear and a compact regular U-plan courtyard farmstead complex with a south facing crewyard. The farmhouse survives with little alteration, but only the West and North Ranges, a stable and barn respectively, are extant. The south and west walls are all that remain of a former cartshed in the northwest corner of the complex. A Dutch barn was built to the north of the original complex in c.1980, and there is also a modern covered yard to the east. The farmstead was considered to have moderate historical, evidential, aesthetic, and communal value. {1}
