Hello Mrs.a
The Farm is now derelict as you can see, this would be the oldest part. I will spread the photos over 3 messages because of the file sizes.

The main house in the centre of the old buildings. The last use seems to have been a building company using it as offices seen on the sides.

Nobody to greet me now except a lucky black cat, I saw her plate by the front door, so somebody must come by to feed her.
