Houses
The
buildings are good examples of different styles of Jersey architecture,
as they are from different centuries.

The
architecture of the Langlois house is similar to that in medieval Brittany.
The rooms below were used for the livestock, whilst the rooms above were
for the family.
The
Hamptonne house was extended and transformed a number of times. A second
storey was added in the 16th century, and another two-storey extension
was built at the end of the 17th century.
The
Syvret house was built on the site during the 1830's. It is the most recent
house on the site. The rooms are extremely high, and are typical of the
large houses built in St. Helier at the time.
Outbuildings

| The
washhouse |
Farm
outbuildings became more important during the 19th century, as they were
converted into amenities for the farmers and their families.
The
northern yard was created in the late 19th century. It contained stables,
a carriage house, a bakehouse, a washhouse, farm-labourers' accommodation
and an open shed.
