Description
A cattle house range dating to 1849, built for William Marshall, with 20th-century alterations. The building is constructed of orange-brown brick with orange rubbed-brick dressings. The roof is covered in pantiles, except for the west range which has an asbestos roof. The range is rectangular in plan, consisting of five parallel ranges separated by passages and linked by a range along the north side, forming the centrepiece of the farmyard. It is a single storey in height.
The north side has nine bays: six segmental-headed entrances with sliding board doors, a single segmental-headed window to the right end, and a single window to the centre and left, the latter beneath a timber lintel. The building has a hipped roof with projecting gables to the rear ranges. The west side has fourteen bays, featuring a round-headed entrance with a sliding door, flanked by part-glazed board doors with strap hinges (six to the left, seven to the right) beneath segmental arches. There are two rows of pipe breathers present. The east side has ten bays: a centrally recessed bay with a wide blocked segmental-headed opening and an inserted window, flanked by three segmental-headed openings to each side (five with lower sections blocked), a board door to the right beneath a timber lintel, and a pair of segmental-headed windows to the left. The south side has five ranges, separated by passages, each with a central round-headed gable-end entrance with sliding doors. An inserted door and window is present to the right (east) range.
The central range has eleven-bay arcades to each side, featuring central pairs of square brick piers flanked by cylindrical piers, with 20th-century breeze-block infilling and inserted doors. The outermost east and west ranges have similar thirteen-bay arcades with earlier brick infilling, board doors, and overlights. The inner ranges each have fourteen original board doors with overlights to each side, some of which have been reset. The building has overhanging eaves and hipped roofs throughout.
The cattle houses were considered advanced for their time, housing individual animals in boxes measuring 10ft by 12ft, each with a water trough and manger and served by railways along central aisles. The building was converted to pig units around 1960 but retains much of its original form. The original railway lines have been removed or covered by later flooring. The building was disused and in a state of disrepair at the time of resurvey. It is part of a large, early industrial farm.
