Description

The farm building located 30 metres north of Tushingham House was constructed in 1821. It features Flemish bond brown brickwork and graded grey slate roofs. The structure is designed as an almost symmetrical open court with two storeys plus a loft, likely intended for use as stables. The central wing has a slightly projecting gable at the front, which includes two round recessed blank arches on the lower storey, one of which is filled. There is a stone band at the first floor level, and a basket-arched recess that holds a 12-pane unequal sash window in the upper storey. Above this, there is a pigeon-loft with a tall round-arched niche that contains flight-holes on each side of two lower niches, topped by a circular feature inscribed with TE:V (Vernon):1821. A single flue chimney is positioned at the apex of the gable. The bays on either side of the gable have been altered, although the left corner retains a cambered skewback doorway. The openings on the lower storey of the cross-wings have also been altered. The upper storey features some 12-pane unequal sashes, along with two 9-pane fixed lights in the right wing and one blocked opening in the left wing. Each cross-wing gable has a two-storey round-arched recess; the right recess includes two inserted windows on the lower storey and a pitching-eye above, while the circular features in the left gable are obscured by a later brick extension. The interior has not been inspected.
