Scope and Content Early 19th century croft complex, consisting of longhouse, byre, barn and stable range, hen house, wash house and cart shed. The listed building description states that the dwelling, hen house and workshop range all have rush-thatched roofs. The buildings have been vacant for some years now, and have been on the Buildings at Risk (BAR) Register since 2008 (BAR reference number 3623), at which time it was already recorded that the thatched roof was in poor condition and suggested it did ‘not appear to have been maintained for several years’. The roofs of the ancillary buildings to the south west of the longhouse have large areas of thatch missing, exposing the interiors of the buildings. Part of the longhouse range has been covered with a temporary corrugated iron covering, whilst the section to the west remains uncovered. The thatch that can be seen on the longhouse is heavily overgrown with vegetation.
