Formerly Ranscombe Farm and dating from the 18th century though there seems to have been a farm on this spot since the Norman era. Not sure how much farming goes on now as all of the outbuildings to the rear have been turned into self catering holiday cottages known as Caburn Cottages and another has been turned into a tea room which appears to only be open during the summer months. Another former farm building is now occupied by a plumber and is located next to the parked cars in the distance.
