Description
Granary Cottage and the adjacent farmbuilding range, located to the north of Black Hedley Farmhouse, date back to 1750, as indicated by a dated lintel on the Dog House, which features the initials H.H (Humphrey Hopper). The buildings are constructed from coursed rubble with various dressings; the barn has a slate roof, the Dog House has stone slates, and Granary Cottage is covered with 20th-century grey tiles, complemented by a brick stack.
The courtyard elevation features the right part, which is a shelter shed with Granary Cottage above it, standing two storeys tall and comprising five irregular bays. It has an arcade of four segmental brick arches, although part of this has been removed to accommodate a 20th-century garage door. To the left, there is a boarded door set in a stone surround, with two stone-surround windows above. The right gable is coped with moulded kneelers and has an end stack. The right return displays stone-surround windows.
To the left, behind the cross-gabled one-storey Dog House, which was formerly a stable, there is a taller barn. The Dog House features a boarded door in a chamfered surround, flanked by square-headed recesses on the right return. The barn has a pent outshut with a 12-pane fixed window and coped gables with moulded kneelers. The left return of the barn shows a boarded first-floor window in a stone surround. The rear of the barn includes an attached engine house with a blocked door dated 1801 on the east side, and the end wall of the engine house has been removed.
