Former Grade II listed traditional farmhouse and associated buildings. The complex originally dates from the 18th Century, and was extended and altered during the 19th Century. The steading predates the rapid development of Ashington that came with industrialisation, which has led to the buildings being surrounded by residential development during the 20th Century. After a period of dereliction the buildings were redeveloped as a care home in 1994 and remained in this use until closure in 2019. An application for redevelopment of the site to provide 10 dwellings was refused in 2024 (20/01143/FUL). The scheme had proposed the conversion of the vacant buildings into 9 flats and 1 house. A scheme is not considered to be achievable at the present time. No longer considered developable/developable and future housing delivery is discounted in the SHLAA.
