Ailey Farmhouse And Attached Granary

Ailey Farmhouse and the attached granary are located in Kinnersley and date from probably the late 16th century to early 17th century, with later alterations. The farmhouse is timber-framed with brick infill, while the granary extension is made of sandstone rubble. The roofs are covered with sandstone slate and tiles, featuring a sandstone rubble side stack. The building has a T-plan layout with a cross-wing at the west end of the east/west range. It is two storeys high with an attic.

The north elevation displays three 1:1 windows, which are 2-light late 19th-century casements, with a gable front on the right-hand side. The ground floor has similar windows. The gable features a 2-light late 20th-century window to the left of the centre, and the ground floor of the gable has a 4-light moulded mullioned and transomed window with a heavy oak cill. Above this, a restored pair of brackets supports the jettied first storey. The main range has an entry with a 6-panelled early 19th-century door located immediately to the left of the gable.

The frame of the cross-wing has two square panels from the plinth to the first floor, above which are three panels to the wall-plate. The main range has walls that are four panels high. The granary, likely built in the early 19th century, features two gabled attic dormers, each with a 2-light casement. The ground floor has two casements with blue brick segmental heads. Brick tallet stairs rise from the front of the left-hand return to a ledged loft door. The interior has not been inspected. The Royal Commission on Historical Monuments refers to Ailey Farmhouse as Upper Ailey Farm.
