Granary About 25 Yards South Of Ash Farmhouse

Granary located about 25 yards south of Ash Farmhouse, dating from the 18th century. It is constructed of finely coursed sandstone rubble, brick, sandstone dressings, and features a Welsh slate roof. The building has a rectangular plan with four bays aligned east to west, and includes a cellar, two storeys, and an attic.

The north elevation displays four windows with lintels beneath relieving arches and diamond-section transoms that create a louvre effect. The ground floor has three windows with mid-19th century shutters and a ledged door positioned to the left of centre. There is a cellar entry to the right of centre featuring a 3-centred head and barrel drop. The building has dressed quoins and verges with kneelers at the gables.

On the east elevation, stone tallet stairs lead over a dog-kennel to a 18th century ledged door with strap hinges that opens to the first floor. There is a central attic opening with diamond-section oak transoms. The south elevation has blind openings with brick panels on the first floor.

Inside, the granary features a longitudinal barrel vault in the three western bays. The eastern bay of the attic has its southern half partitioned off, adjacent to the 18th century oak dog-leg stairs. The trusses in the west have two collars, with the lower collars supported by angle struts from the principals, while the east truss has an interrupted tie-beam and collar.
