Description

The courtyard of farm buildings, located 50 meters north of Puddington Old Hall, dates from the late 17th century and 18th century, with some recent alterations. The buildings are constructed of red brick in English and English garden wall bond, topped with Welsh slate roofs, although some areas have corrugated asbestos.

The north range served as a threshing barn and features a two-storey, five-bay south front. It has a plain band at the first floor that rises over a partly blocked entrance with a segmental brick arch. There is an inserted opening at the left end and several windows below. Above, there are five square pitch holes with segmental heads that function as ventilation slots.

The west range is a shippon, also two-storey, with a six-bay east side and a partial sandstone plinth. It has a plain band at the first floor, inserted openings below, and five square pitch holes above. The south range consists of a two-storey, three-bay granary with a band at the first floor and brick coped gables. At the south-east angle, there is a one-storey former carthouse made of red sandstone blocks with brick alterations.

Inside the west range, there are reports of a series of early timber trusses, likely originating from an earlier building on the site.
