Historic Environment Record entry
Listed building
A mid-19th century farmstead. The house retains its proportions and character with many historic features. The outbuildings have good stonework and, together with the farmhouse, create a cohesive group which contributes to the roadside, rural setting.
Oak View emulates the polite architecture of Georgian fashion but with a continuing local character [2].
The former cider house on the east side of the group was built into the hillside with an opening at orchard level for taking in apples.
Farmstead comprising farmhouse (two-storey, five-bay) with single storey, two-bay wing to east and single storey, two-bay outbuilding to west. On the roadside to the south-east is a single-storey outbuilding. Further east is a two-storey outbuilding, returning in L-shape to the north-west with adjacent pigsties on the west gable.
