Full Description

PRN 65706 This is an example of a 19th century model farm. It is shown on the 1880 Ordnance Survey map. {1} This farm is almost identical in design to Cold Harbour Farm, Bishop Burton, East Yorkshire which was built around 1884. The landowners of the two farms had neighbouring estates in Yorkshire. The Yorkshire farm was designed by William Hawe of Beverly, and was probably built first. The Coleby example is slightly simplified. Both have an imposing front with a central carriage arch under a tower with dovecote and cupola (although the cupola at Coleby has been removed because it had rotted). Both are built of red brick with slate roofs. {2} Coleby Hall Farm, Coleby. Partially extant 19th century farmstead. Regular courtyard of E plan. Prominent covered yard in association. The farmhouse is detached from the main working complex. There has been a partial loss (less than 50%) of traditional buildings. Isolated location. Large modern sheds are located to the side of the site. {3}
