REASONS FOR DESIGNATION DECISION
No 65 The Village and adjoining barn are designated for the following principal reasons:
* The buildings have their origins in the seventeenth or early eighteenth century
* The changes the buildings have undergone demonstrate the evolution of the farmstead in which they stand
* They retain a large number of original features both externally and internally, including roof joinery in the barn, and original windows and entrances
* They are demonstrative of the local vernacular, and of local industry in the presence of weavers' windows on the house
