South Farmhouse, of two storeys with brick walls and a tiled roof, is mainly of the second half of the 18th century much altered and enlarged. To the east is a slightly earlier single storeyed wing that probably originated as an independent cottage. Some 50 yards to the west is a pair of cottages, probably originally late 17th century but entirely remodelled. <1>
