Coach House, Gin House, Granary, Gate Piers, Gate And Screen At Casterton Farm

This is a complex of buildings at Casterton Farm, including a coach house, gin house, granary, gate piers, gate, and screen. The main elements date from the early 19th century, with later additions in the late 19th century and alterations in the 20th century. The buildings are constructed primarily of red brick in Flemish bond, with hipped asbestos roofs and cast iron detailing.

The coach house is a rectangular block of three storeys and four bays. It features an off-centre double planked door set beneath an elliptical brick arch with a Gothick fanlight. Adjacent to the door is a two-light window with Gothick tracery. Flanking the coach house are single-storey gabled wings, each with double planked doors and brick-coped gables. The upper floors of the coach house have windows mirroring those on the ground floor, all with Gothick tracery and semi-circular brick heads. A brass fire insurance plaque from the Britannia Company is positioned in the middle of the second floor.

A single-storey, two-bay gin house is located to the left, originally open-sided with brick piers supporting a steeply hipped roof. Inside, a cross beam supports roof struts, and a fixing for a horse gin remains visible on the underside. Adjacent to the gin house is a large granary of three storeys and seven bays, with a hipped asbestos roof. Some ground-floor details are obscured by later single-storey additions. The granary has four windows and three blocked openings on the first floor, and seven smaller two-light windows on the second floor. All openings have segmental brick heads. A planked double door is at ground-floor level on the left side, alongside a single planked door to the first floor. A cast iron pulley arm, featuring pierced circular decoration, is flanked by two two-light windows.

Two late 19th-century gate piers, constructed of stuccoed brick with industrial brick pyramidal copings, stand in front of the buildings. The gates and screen incorporate ironwork dating from circa 1830, featuring spearhead terminals and ramped side rails. To the right is a rustic pedestrian gate with a barred rail, leafy verticals, and bulbous terminals.
