I think the eye-catcher of this farm is the Gothic gatehouse. It has a substructure of marlstone, the superstructure is made of brick from a more recent period. The pointed arch-shaped entrance gate has a frame of limestone blocks. The door to the house is on the right in the passage. The first layer of marlstone was preserved in the street facade of the house.
