A photographic building recording was carried out prior to proposed alterations, including the reversal of unsympathetic modern alterations, to the building. The farm house is probably of early 19th century date, however local traditions record the same family (the Heneages, who were tenant farmers on the Hainton Estate) living there since the late 17th century. It appears to have undergone several alterations during its earlier history, including the additions of an extension to the right of the original building and a lean-to with catslide roof at the rear. During the 1980s a number of 'renovations' were carried out including the removal of the back staircase and the replacement of a wooden floor with plaster. The building retains some wooden sash windows (some with shutters) on the front elevation including some Yorkshire sliding sashes. Some of the interior doors appear to be of 19th century date, and there is some panelling in the living room. The living room also includes a large fireplace with a timber lintel. The associated farm buildings include a granary, tractor shed and crew yard, and have been extensively altered. There is also a well in the yard. {2}
