Roofed and walled permanent structures.

Description

Imposing 3 storey former farmhouse of handmade brick with stacks to each gable, though now roofed in concrete tile. Thought to date to early C19. Around the time of the 1778 Auckley map this farm was occupied by Auckley farmer, Thomas Tuke, along with the immediate land around. Subsequent development of this traditional brick and pantile roofed farm led to a number of ‘new’ outbuildings including barns and cart sheds. By the early 1990s many of these were dismantled and destroyed to make way for new housing (Ivy House Court). The main farm building retains its largely original appearance . The symmetry of the front elevation and window configuration suggest it might be early C19 and the side and rear extensions appear on the c1900 OS map. The window openings have segment arch brick heads and stone cills though the windows themselves are modern. There is a double string course of brick above the ground floor windows. The building is significant as a prominent landmark and would have reflected the status of the owner in the village
