Farmhouse and attached buildings, formerly the home farmstead
of Halshanger Manor (not listed), which lies 50m to east.
Built between 1840 and 1887. Stone rubble with detail in
dressed granite. Slated roofs. Red-brick chimneys. House and
buildings enclose a square cobbled courtyard with access

almost indistinguishable from the rest, in SE corner.
Buildings have shippons and stable in ground storey; cartshed
in NE corner, entered from outside. Lofts above; bank barn
with 2 threshing-floors on W side. In centre a very large
round dungpit. 2 storeys. Openings mostly have segmental
arches with raised keystones. Some rusticated detail,
including surrounds of archways to covered gateway and
cartshed entrance. Dungpit enclosed by low stone-rubble wall
with coping of roughly-squared granite blocks. Iron
water-wheel at south end of barn. Adjoining the buildings on
west is the former mowhay or rickyard complete with granite
staddle-stones (now minus their mushroom tops). Interior:
house not inspected. Some of shippons have cobbled floors and
red-brick feeding troughs. Some machinery associated with
water-wheel.
