Full Description

The first edition Ordnance Survey map (1862-75) shows a rectangular building with an oast house on its southern end. The building has three small extensions (to the east and north), and these are shown on the second edition Ordnance survey map (1897-1900).
The northern extension is larger in the third edition Ordnance Survey map (1907-23) and is again increased in the min-twentieth century (fourth edition Ordnance Survey map, 1929-52). This building can be seen on the 1940s aerial survey, but has been demolished in the late twentieth century, as it is not shown on the 1990 aerial survey.
