Description
The Old Granary, cart shed, and attached pigsties at Church Farmhouse date from the early 18th century. The building is constructed from coursed and squared stone and features a Welsh slate roof. The granary is a two-storey block on the left side, which includes a segmentally arched double doorway with voussoirs at the ground floor and a loft window above. To the left, there is an external staircase with a dog kennel underneath, providing access to a door leading to the loft at a chamfered angle. The single-storey cart shed has three open bays separated by piers. At the rear, there are two pigsties that were likely built as part of the original structure.
