Norris Castle Farm, the Bailiff's House, Two Cottages and Kitchen Garden Wall, Newbarn Road, East Cowes - Isle of Wight (UA)

Model Farm designed by James Wyatt around 1800. It includes farm buildings, Bailiff's house, cottages, walled garden and glass houses all contained within a rectangular plan surrounded by high castellated walls with corner towers. At risk due to lack of maintenance and repair. Roofs are leaking and in some areas in danger of collapse. A planning application for the redevelopment of the site as a branded resort, which would have harmed the significance of the site, has recently been turned down. Proposals for repair along with a sympathetic and sustainable use are urgently required.
