Description

This is a combination farmbuilding, possibly including some domestic accommodation, located immediately to the north of Guilthwaite Hall Farmhouse. It dates from the mid-17th century and is currently used as a store. The building is constructed from coursed, dressed red sandstone and features a Welsh slate roof. It has two storeys with a loft and consists of five internal bays.

Notable architectural features include a chamfered plinth, large ashlar quoins, and double-chamfered window surrounds. The doorway on the left has monolithic jambs and a deep lintel, flanked by single-light windows with casements. A continuous dripmould extends to the right, continuing over an altered two-light window and a doorway with a bonded surround and a keyed three-piece lintel. There is a 20th-century casement window at the far right in an altered surround.

External stone steps lead to a first-floor doorway at the right end bay, with a dripmould rising over the lintel and covering a single-light window to the right. Near the center, there is a first-floor hatch that was formerly a two-light window, with a similar opening to its left. The gable features shaped kneelers and roll-moulded copings with finial bases at the kneelers and apex.

At the rear, several original windows have been blocked and are now within attached outbuildings that are not of special interest. The left return has external steps leading to a first-floor door and a two-light mullioned window to the loft with a hoodmould. The right return includes a doorway on the ground floor to the left, a single-light window to its right with a dripmould, and a first-floor dripmould beneath two single-light openings with dripstones.

Inside, there is a corbelled fireplace in the first-floor room to the right, along with old stud partitions and a balustrade with lath and plaster infill. The loft over the other bays has a plaster floor and four principal-rafter trusses. This building is well-preserved and represents a rare type in this region.
