Farmbuildings To West Of Thorpe Grange Farmhouse

The farm buildings to the west of Thorpe Grange Farmhouse are a barn and stable group, likely built in the mid-18th century. The front is constructed from squared stone with tooled and margined quoins and dressings, while the other walls are made of rubble. The roofs are covered with graduated stone slates, except for the single-storey section, which has modern asbestos sheets.

The south elevation features two and one storeys, arranged in a symmetrical layout with one and three bays. There is a plinth at the base. The central one-storey stable has a boarded door situated between renewed casement windows in old openings, which have slightly projecting sills. To the right, a two-storey end pavilion has boarded double doors beneath a segmental arch, with a segmental-headed stone-surround window above it, also featuring a slightly projecting sill and topped with a pyramid roof. The similar two-storey bay on the left is actually the end of a hip-roofed barn range, which has various openings on the left return, along with slit vents at the rear and on the right return.

Inside, the pavilion boasts an interesting contemporary roof structure, where crossed tie-beams support a central post. This post has a block at its base that carries struts to the central principal rafter on each roof slope.
