Summary
A farmhouse dating to about 1680, although there are suggestions that it either updated an earlier existing building or was made using material from one elsewhere.
The building was much altered in the 19th and 20th centuries, but was sympathetically restored in 1985 using imported medieval beams and other old materials.
