Description
The farm comprised two yard areas and a collection of outbuildings including a gin-gan. The late 18th and early 19th century farmhouse (NZ 3857 6242) is built in irregular coursed rubble with irregular stone quoins. It has new window openings and window inserts that are flush to the wall. The roof is Welsh slate with high raised gables. A new porch has been added. The eaves have been raised. The increased west gable is in brick. The gable is crow-stepped and sits on a projecting stone corbel. The farmhouse is surrounded by an attractive stone boundary wall. Blocked openings including a possible original pedestrian gate are evident and one leading into a demolished farm building. The farmyards have been developed. Only one farm building remains to be converted into a garage. The new East Farm development is a courtyard with modern houses around it. LOCAL LIST
