Description
Group of historic farm buildings thought to date from circa 1840, now sitting incongruously amongst 20th century housing.
There are four detached properties in authentic farmhouse style, which should be considered together for group value. One of the properties is illustrated here (https://media.onthemarket.com/properties/4033762/481580181/document-0.pdf) illustrating clearly the historic character.
I don't know the source of the 1840 date in that document, but two of the farm buildings are visible on the OS six-inch 1888-1913 series map, see https://maps.nls.uk/geo/explore/side-by-side/#zoom=18&lat=53.41103&lon=-2.35818&layers=6&right=BingHyb
