Description:
A planned range of farm buildings designed by John Green for the Duke of Northumberland, erected in the 1850s, now converted to residential use for the elderly. This was a planned and mechanised farm and the small engine house with its tall square chimney survive. The farm was formed by amalgamation of land and consequently had no farmhouse. It comprises a single storey 6 arch cart shed, with an east window at each end, and a square-headed wide opening at the southern end of the east side. In the south gable there is a window and a chimney. There are also a chimney, engine house and boiler house. LISTED GRADE 2
