Farm Complex To South Of Hayeswood Farm House

TL 72 SE BLACK NOTLEY OFF WITHAM ROAD

5/85 Farm complex to south of Hayeswood Farm House

GV II

Polygonal farm complex of byres, cartlodges and pigsty. Dated circa 1839 in green glass bottle necks to entrance gable. Flint with red brick dressings and green bottle base glass decoration. Grey slate roofs, hipped to yard entrances. Brick plinths, pilasters, eaves and openings. Single storey. Together with the barn q.v. 5/86 and farmhouse (not listed) the group forms around a polygonal centre stockyard so well designed that water seldom, if ever, freezes in the drinking troughs. The dovecote listed q.v. 5/84 is part of the complex but separate from the polygonal design. There are entrances to east and west, the latter next to the barn. The pigsties opposite the house have timber fronts with arched braces at centre. The rear wall of the sty range is off set with moulded coping and has at the top of either end a small Gothic timber door used to provide ventilation to the interiors. An interesting and attractive example of small model complex of this date. q.v. 5/84, 86, 87.
