Recorded on Greenwood's plan, 1820. Redeveloped between 1862-1896. 1862- L shaped buildings in the centre of a rectangular plot with a gin-gang on the west side. By 1896 the house (at the southern end of the L shape) had been demolished and the present dwelling constructed closer to the road. The remnants of the farm buildings had been extended into a narrow 'reversed J' shaped range, now enclosed by later additions.
