Description

The barns, coach house, bakehouse, and maltings located approximately 5 metres south of Number 29 (South End House) date back to around 1500, with early 17th century alterations, and later additions from around 1700 and 1800, as indicated by a dated tie beam. There were further alterations around 1810. The buildings feature a timber frame that is plastered and weather boarded, with red brick and painted brick walls from around 1700. The roofs are plain tiled and slated, with a ridge stack on the main range.

The structure is two storeys high, with the main north-south range originally serving as a wool hall, which was partly modified in the early 17th century to function as a bakehouse, complete with an external staircase on the east side. At right angles to this are two parallel barns, the southern barn dated 'W WALTERS 1800' on a tie beam, while the northern barn and coach house enclose a square planned malting kiln from around 1700, which has an associated lean-to in the north-east corner and remnants of the heating chamber and flues.

On the north elevation, both the coach house and barn are weather boarded and painted white, featuring two entrances, each with double boarded doors shaped to elliptical-headed arches. There are also boarded doors leading to the right-hand lean-to, which includes a brick projection that was formerly a heating chamber with a reduced stack. The staircase to the main range is recessed behind the entrance to the kitchen and is enclosed on the east side by a timber-framed wall.

Inside, the main range consists of five bays with braced tie beams, a mullioned first-floor window, and evidence of other windows. The floor frames have chamfered main beams, and there is a large inserted cooking hearth in the north bay with baking ovens. The south-east barn has four bays with a king-post roof, retains its original floor, and has a boarded door leading to the first-floor entrance of the malting kiln. The malting kiln features a plastered floor and plastered bases of a dismantled cone, with a 19th-century roof.

These buildings survived an arson attack in 1849 by discontented farm labourers and were formerly part of Clear Farm.
