Cheesewring Farm was created out of the surrounding moorland around 1840. The Farmhouse is a grade two listed building with many period features, and (we think) features in a book written by the local author E.V. Thompson in his book "Chase the Wind". The house and farm was sold by the Duchy in 1960 and has been in private ownership since then.
The stone-built cottages, now comfortable accommodation, were formerly farm buildings and are set away from the main house.
