BOSTOCK C.P. (Off) BOSTOCK ROAD SJ 66 NE 5/14 Farmbuilding with spire c.80 metres north of Bostock Hall. (Formerly listed as C19 farm building (with spire) 23.4.81 about 80 metre north of Bostock Hall). GV II Farmbuilding. Mid/Late C18. Red English garden wall bond brick with ashlar dressings and corrugated asbestos roof. Entrance front: stone plinth, thirteen bays symmetrically disposed. Slightly projecting central three bays and projecting 3 bay gabled wings to right and left ends. Central slightly projecting cambered-headed doorway with timbered gable above (a late C19 addition). Pigeon loft entrances above at right and left of gable each with 3 arched openings and projecting gable above. To left is a ground floor window of 3 x 3 panes (later insertion) with a circular pitch eye above with moulded stone surround. To the right is a C20 opening with cement; lintel. To left of the centre are two bays with blank walling to ground floor and two cambered headed openings above, the right hand one being a pitch hole with door, the left hand one a window of 3 x 2 lights. To the right are two bays with cambered headed pitch holes with doors to the first floor and two stable doors to ground floor with a small cambered headed window to the right of each door. The lateral 3-bay wings each have a central recessed archway, the right hand one containing an inserted C20 window, to either side of which are windows of 3 x 4 panes. The right hand opening of the left hand block now containing a doorway. First floor in each case has central square pitch hole with pitching eyes to either side with moulded stone surrounds. Gables above each are timber framed (a late C19 alteration). To the centre of the ridge is a louvred bellcote with a shingle roof, louvred lower stage and lead finial to summit. The ranges to either side of the three central bays would appear, from the brickwork, to have formerly been open at first floor level forming a hay barn, as is the case at the rear.
