The largest of the four houses on the site, Valetta, is one of the oldest inhabited homes in the area having been built around 1700 as a Huguenot farmhouse. It has been extended at least three times over the years but still retains most of its original character. It has a floor area of 242sq m (2,600sq ft) and includes six bedrooms and three reception rooms. There is also a detached bungalow with 158sq m (1,700sq ft) and two smaller homes built in the 1990s.
