Full Description
Farmhouse. The original building seems to date from circa 1500 and was open to the roof. At the west end an original truss remains. In the early 17th century floors were inserted; the roof above the middle part was rebuilt and the present gable made above the entrance passage; the fireplace in the central room was put in; the fireplace in the west end was inserted. The east end was probably added about a century afterwards. The walls are of rubble stone and the roof is thatched. The building was set to be demolished in 1966.
