Description

The farm buildings, including a cottage, date from the early to mid-19th century and were remodeled in the 20th century. They are constructed from coursed rubble with ashlar quoins and dressings, topped with Cotswold stone roofs. The layout is an elongated octagonal shape with a roughly symmetrical plan, featuring an open side to the west that faces Hinchwick. The buildings exhibit a Cotswold style, charmingly adapted in the early 20th century in a manner reminiscent of Lutyens.

To the west, there is an arched carriage entrance beneath a dovecote topped with a cross-gabled cupola. The gables are prominent on both fronts, sweeping down over flanking doors that feature handsome wrought-iron gates. The central feature on the south side is a two-storey, three-bay cottage, which has two-light mullioned windows on the first floor, a Tudor-arched entry on the ground floor, and a circular gable vent.

On the north side, a matching block serves as a barn, featuring slit vents with lozenge heads and a plain central entry. The connecting buildings are single-storey ranges that include stables, garages, and implement sheds, with more irregular openings, some framed by rectangular stone piers. Due to the sloping site, these structures are built to follow the incline, resulting in sloping ridges that rise towards Hinchwick.

Internally, the courtyard is framed by two walls approximately eight feet high that define the carriageway and include roughly central arched entrances. These walls open up with quadrants in front of the house. The design incorporates many elements typical of the Cotswold style, such as coped gables with saddlestones and oculi in the gables of the larger buildings, all of which contribute to an impressive and carefully planned architectural composition.
