Farm Outbuilding To The North Of Hardwick Farmhouse (East)

This is a farm outbuilding located to the north of Hardwick Farmhouse, dating from the late 17th century, with some alterations and additions made in the 20th century. The building is constructed from coursed rubble gritstone with roughly hewn dressings and quoins, featuring plain gables and a plain tile roof with stone-slated eaves.

The west elevation consists of three roof bays, with two single doorways located at the center, which are accessed by a flight of four stone steps. One doorway has a quoined surround and a massive lintel above a plain plank door. On either side of this doorway are single lancet breathers, which have been glazed.

At the south end of the building, there is a 20th-century monopitched lean-to that includes a segmental arched opening. Extending westward from the north bay is a lean-to pig cote, which is enclosed by a low masonry wall topped with flat copings. The pig cote features a stone surround at its doorway, and the southern part of the wall includes two feeding troughs with openings. This building is listed for its group value.
