The property was renovated sometime between 2011[4] and 2019,[5] a process that removed its pebbledashing.
In 2014, a planning application was made to demolish three barns and erect six dwellings on the property, but the application was later withdrawn.[6]
An 1890 Lancashire and Yorkshire Victorian railway carriage body was acquired from the farm by Poulton & Wyre Railway Society in 2023.[7][8]
For much of the 20th century and the early part of the 21st century, the property was owned by the Hodgkinson family. Thomas Hodgkinson died in 2008, aged 87;[9] his wife, Eunice, died three years later.[10] In 1905, Richard and Ann Wright were living there.[11]
A tablet, made of sandstone, is visible on the building's right gable, with the initials "B. T. S." and the year "1692".[2]
