Abstract:		 Retreat Farm lies in open, arable countryside in the south-eastern corner of Flixton parish. The farm buildings form a mid-19th century red-brick and pantiled yard complex adjoining Abbey Road and the farmhouse is a red-brick structure of similar date some 90 m to the north-west. The complex includes an earlier thatched barn but this had been converted prior to inspection. At the time of the tithe survey in 1844 the farm was a substantial tenanted holding of at least 119 acres. Only the barn is clearly recognisable on the tithe map, which shows what may be a medieval farmhouse on what is now waste ground immediately to the rear of the unconverted sheds. The farm buildings formed a pair of animal yards accommodating horses to the north and cattle to the south, with a granary and probable bullock shed to the east and a series of small roadside storage sheds to the west. Of the eleven individual structures several have collapsed or suffered extensive mutilation but the buildings of the stable yard are exceptionally well preserved. The single-storied stable retains many original fittings, including stalls, mangers and harness hooks, and the painted names of its original occupants are still legible above the entrance to each of the eight stalls. It is rare to find a full complement of working-horse names in this way, and a naive carved image of a horse alongside Ramper's stall is a fine piece of folk art in its own right.
