Building record 1532800000 - Village Farm, Main Road

Village Farm is a traditional farmstead, and is considered to be a non-designated heritage asset due to its attractive and historic form, materials and features of the buildings. The layout of Village Farm appears to be little changed since the late 19th century, when it was shown on the first edition Ordnance Survey map (B1).
Farm buildings shown on OS surveyor's draft 2-inch drawing of c1813 (B2).
NGR point to farmhouse.
Assessed by Historic England for possible listing in 2023. Rejected for the following reasons:
Degree of architectural interest: - despite the survival of parts of the timber frame of the C18 barns, their conversion and that of the C19 brick buildings which form the other ranges of farm buildings, has introduced much new fabric to the group.
Degree of historic interest: - conversion of the buildings has resulted in the loss of the original pattern and our understanding of the original functioning of the complex.
Group value: - the buildings are proximate to several listed buildings including Boarstall Tower (Grade I), Tower Farmhouse (II) and the Church of St James (II*). However, this is not sufficient to compensate for the lack of architectural or historic interest. See report for detail (B3).
