Description
The granary, located approximately 50 meters north-east of Heightley Farmhouse, is a domestic building dating from around 1600, with later alterations. It features a weatherboarded timber frame and a graded slate roof. The structure has two storeys and was formerly equipped with an attic. The ground floor is open to the front and divided into three bays, supported by two elaborately carved posts, with a straight-flight oak staircase to the left and three hatches leading to the first floor.
Inside, the first floor reveals visible framing, with close-set vertical posts at the gables and front wall, and square panels with short straight tension braces on the back wall, all filled with red brick. There are also square-panelled timber framed partitions with red brick infill. A moulded doorframe with ogee stops is present at the second truss from the left. The roof is a queen-strut design in three bays, featuring double purlins and straight windbraces that form lozenge shapes on the upper purlin, along with jowled wall posts. Sawn-off joist ends, indicating the former presence of a second floor, are visible on the tie beams.
