CROWLE CP LOWER CROWLE ROAD The Old Cart Shed

(Formerly listed as Stable about 20 yards north of The Mordaunts, LOWER CROWLE)

GV II Stable. C17 with mid-C20 alterations. Timber-framed with brick infill, brick replacement walling, plain tiled roof. Three framed bays aligned east/west; two levels. Framing: irregular, mainly five panels from sill to wallplate, collar and tie-beam truss with three struts below collar and V-strut in apex exposed in east gable end. South elevation facing farmyard has four stable doors and two windows, one of which has a two-light casement, at ground floor level and a two-light casement and two loft doors to the upper level.

Interior: roof and upper level not accessible.

It is probable that the building was originally constructed as a barn as suggested by the wall-framing. It is linked to the large barn in the farmstead (qv) by a late C19 brick building (not included) at its west gable end.
