History

The farmhouse was built in the late 16th or early 17th century.[1] It was an outlying farm of Cothay Manor.[3]

The farm now has around 100 goats and makes three kinds of cheese.[4][5][6][7] In 2008 a new barn, milking parlour and dairy was constructed.[8][9]

Architecture

The "L" shaped stone building has a slated cruck roof.[1] Approximately 10 metres (33 ft) east of the main farmhouse is a disused malt house.[2]

gollark: I had to manually do a thing to the stuff and it may have caused implosions.
