Significance: Farmstead buildings reflecting the origin as part of the estate dairy farm, altered with
conversion to residential, retains some external characteristics; part of a group of model farms built by
1879 and possibly as early as the 1850s.
Issues: The original uses of the buildings are no longer clear and the internal layout has gone. The
setting has altered with the change of use of the working farm to residential with domestic gardens and
planting. A local note building within the conservation area of Mentmore (B1).
