HISTORY

Beacon Farm was historically part of the Neswick Estate and was purchased by the Vendor’s family in the mid twentieth century. The farm obtained its name from the beacon which once stood on land to the north of the farmstead with the purpose of alerting the surrounding countryside to the approach of danger. The front door to the farmhouse reputedly came from Warter Priory, which was demolished in the 1970s.
