The Haslington tithe map of 1839 shows three buildings at this location, within plot 536 which is recorded as house, buildings, and fold. The buildings comprise: (Building 1) a long narrow north-east to south-west aligned building c.45 metres long and c.6.5 metres wide. At its north-eastern end, and connected to its south-eastern side, is a similar building (Building 2) c.35 metres long and c.6.5 metres wide, orientated north-west to south-east. Forming the third side of a square area, and located a little to the south-west of the south eastern side of this building, is a further building (Building 3) c.35 metres long and c.6.5 metres wide. A number of enclosures are associated with these buildings.

"...a fine block of oak framed farm buildings on a stone foundation, at right angles to Homeshaw-lane, which were in existence in 1911, have now disappeared. They were at that time in good state of preservation allowing for their age, and of very artistic appearance".
