One of the original farmsteads built by the Knights on Exmoor. It was sold to the Fortescue Estate in 1879 and later became part of the Emmett's Grange estate before being sold on to Somerset County Council and is now owned by ENPA. The 1959 sales particulars mention a farm house with entrance porch, sitting room, kitchen, back kitchen, larder/meat store and dairy, seven bedrooms and bathroom, and a covered backway, washhouse and two pig houses to the rear. There is also a well. Arranged around a main yard are a group of farm buildings comprising hay store, calf box, shippon, 4 hay cart linhay (part used as a chicken house), yearlings house (with hay tallett over), cart linhay (tallett over part), engine house, barn, stabling of three stalls and loose box (hay tallett over), 7 bay dutch barn and a sheep linhay.
The farmhouse appears to be little altered since it was constructed, bar a few later alterations and additions, mainly in the later 20th Century.
Age: of its time.
Rarity: not uncommon to find 19th century farm but the farm as a whole is unusually intact and has association with the Knights.
Distinctive Design: Similar to other Knight farms with farmhouse at one end of courtyard of outbuildings.
Historical Association: Known occupants and links to Knights.
Evidential Value: house and outbuildings retain a number of features that better our understanding of 19th century farming practice.
Social Communal Value: Owned by National Park Authority
Group Value: the 19th century structures form a good group in an associated contemporary farming landscape, with earlier Knight estate features such as Pinkery Canal.
Collective Value: With other buildings on the Knight estate.
