Historic Environment Record entry
Listed building
The 1850s farmhouse is a good example of a late Regency style rural villa, and is of interest along with the outbuilding range to the north (originally the 18th century farmhouse). Shown on the Richmond Map of 1795.
Original 18th century farmhouse extended and altered, in mid-19th century and later, into outbuilding range. Principal house built in 1856. The earlier ranges of southern and western farm outbuildings were destroyed by fire in 1928. Additions to farm complex post-1928.
Associated farm buildings, including 1928 L-plan outbuilding to west, north range of buildings, including 1928 pigsties, and other miscellaneous 20th century outbuildings.
The 1850s house has many internal features remaining, including all original doors, porcelain door furniture, gold-leaf beading in the two principal reception rooms, the original mahogany staircase and a gold-leaf over mantle which has a pencil date of 1856. The original farm house retains its identifiable plan form and roof A-frames.
