A collection of modest-scale agricultural ranges composed about a shared courtyard forming a small-scale farmyard complex enhancing the group and setting values of the Birchfield House estate. Retaining most of the original composition attributes together with much of the historic fabric each range makes a positive contribution to the character of the grounds.
