Building On East Side Of Yard At Home Farm, North West Of Downham Hall

This building, located on the east side of the yard at Home Farm, north-west of Downham Hall, is a farm structure that may have originally served as a cartshed and granary. A plaque on the first floor displays the date 'WA 1812'. It is constructed of squared sandstone with a stone slate roof and consists of two storeys. The lower storey is open and supported at the front by three chamfered solid stone piers. The openings created by these piers are spanned by lintels, with the left-hand lintel made of stone and the others now of concrete, resting on square plan capitals. Above all but the left-hand opening are blank stilted semi-circular arches, with the stonework blocking each of the three arches pierced by a window featuring plain reveals. The right-hand opening on the ground floor is now blocked, but it includes a door and a window with plain reveals. The left-hand (north) gable features a first-floor doorway that is accessed by external stone steps.
