Appraisal
Although now in derelict condition, the former high status of these buildings is still evident. The extensive use of cut stone indicates the wealth of the Trench family at the time of the construction of this farmyard, creating a carefully designed and executed group of buildings that belies their utilitarian function. The canted breakfront adds interest to the south range.
