A photo http://www.keystothepast.info/article/10339/Site-Details?PRN=N9772 taken in the 1960s shows that the building still had a roof then, but photos on Geograph taken in 2009 http://www.geograph.org.uk/gridref/NY9292?takenyear=2009 show it as a total ruin. What a transformation - I assume a holiday let? "The derelict remains of a small 17th-century farmstead called The Haining stand west of Elsdon village. The earliest documentary record of the farm is in 1663 and it also appears in later 17th-century parish registers. The farmhouse was probably built in about 1650 and is a typical Northumbrian pattern, being only one rook deep. It has a central door leading into a lobby with a room each side, a flight of stair lead to the first floor which is a single large room." http://www.keystothepast.info/article/10339/Site-Details?PRN=N9772
