Description
The building is a former brew house, now used as a garage and store, with attached pigsties located approximately 25 meters to the north-west of The Old Manor House. It dates from the early to mid-18th century, with the pigsties added in the mid- to late 19th century. The structure is made of dressed yellow and grey sandstone and features a pyramidal plain tile roof. It is a single-storey building with a plinth.
On the front, there are a pair of large 20th-century half-glazed boarded doors to the left and two boarded doors to the right, with the far right door being nail-studded. Inside, there are blocked windows along the walls. The adjoining low range of pigsties is set back to the left and constructed from roughly dressed grey sandstone with a plain tile roof. It has two central two-leaf boarded doors and a pair of sandstone pen walls that project to the front.
The interior of the brew house features a roof with principal rafters that spring from brackets with shaped ends, resting on horizontal corner braces, and single purlins. There is an inserted 20th-century partition. The front of the brew house has been altered; it likely originally had the present central door flanked by windows, and the right-hand door appears to have been cut through the plinth.
