Description
The building is a former traphouse, stables, granary, and pigeoncote, now used as a garage and store. It was constructed in 1810 and altered in the 20th century. The structure is made of red brick in English bond with a pantile roof. It features raised brick coped tumbled gables and a gable stack on the left side. The building is two stories high with a five-bay front and brick dentillated eaves.
On the ground floor, there is a planked door with a segmental head, next to which is a louvred vent with three panes above in a segmental opening. To the right, there are two oval openings with glazed upper lights and boarded lower sections, followed by a 20th-century sliding garage door. The first floor has three small hinged planked openings at the eaves. At the right end, stone steps lead to a planked doorway that accesses the first-floor granary, which features four ledges and pigeon holes. The top brick is dated 1810 and has the initials TH.
