{4} A building recording survey was carried out in advance of future development. The house is currently unsafe to either enter or approach. The house can be divided into two ranges with the eastern range likely dating to the 18th or 19th centuries based on the stone mullion windows. Mapping evidence suggests that its construction post-dates the preliminary Ordnance Survey map of 1817. The western range may have been rebuilt between 1938 and 1964.
