Summary
The late 18th century farmhouse itself is attributed to Samuel Wyatt. The house has a central projecting porch with a pedimented doorway to the south, and pilasters. The house may incorporate the remains of the New Inn, used by visitors to the Holkham sheep shearings. The rest of the model farm complex was built in the 1850s around three sides of a courtyard, with animal sheds and a steaming house. Model Farm Cottages are a pair of mid 19th century estate cottages. During World War Two the house was occupied by the military, and a pillbox was constructed close to the entrance of the farm. The pillbox was removed in 1992.
