Full Description

A farmhouse dating from about 1800 which underwent alterations in the late 19th century. It was constructed of red brick and has pantile roofs with with brick coped gables. For the full description and the legal address of this listed building please refer to the appropriate List of Buildings of Special Architectural or Historic Interest. {1} The farmhouse was converted and restored in about 1986, having been derelict since about 1960. The building in 1986 was listed as a farmhouse of about 1800. The building does, however, contain fragmentary evidence of a 17th century, lobby-entrance house. In about 1800 the house was extensively rebuilt around the 17th century chimney stack. The fire hood in the rear wing is probably a survival of this earliest phase, as are the splat balusters in the secondary staircase. The stone plinth on the north-west, north-east and south-east elevations of the main range might also have been part of the original 17th century farmhouse. Thus within the building there is fragmentary survival of the earliest 17th century fabric. The subsequent late 18th century farmhouse has also been extensively altered and the only significant features from this phase to survive are the tiled floor of the lobby entrance and some of the internal joinery, including doors and window shutters. Significant elements have not survived, in particular, the principal staircase, windows and fireplaces in the reception rooms. The jambs of the inglenook in the rear wing have been rebuilt and the lintel re-used from elsewhere in the house. Whilst the surviving elements have some interest, they were deemed not to be of sufficient interest to warrant retaining the building on the national list and the building was de-listed in 2011. {2}
