Description

An historic analysis at Historic England Level 2 was carried out by Leigh Alston in April 2018 of a redundant outbuilding originally constructed as a granary in the curtilage of a grade II-listed farmhouse to inform and accompany a planning application for conversion. A detached granary was erected in the mid 19th century. The slate-roofed granary is of typical form, with a red-brick lower storey beneath a timber-framed grain loft that retains its original internal and external boarding. Despite the addition of a lean-to greenhouse and tractor shelter during the late-20th century the building survives largely intact with a number of chalk tally marks to the interior, and is of local historic significance.<1>
