Description
The Old Granary is an early 19th-century granary located on the south side of Gosfield Road in Wethersfield. It is timber framed and weatherboarded, with a slate roof. The building has five bays facing southwest and stands two storeys tall. There are two shuttered windows on the ground floor and three on the first floor, along with a plain boarded door. The granary is set on a red brick plinth that features barred ventilation slots. It has a low-pitched hipped roof, primary straight bracing, bolted knees to tiebeams, and plain joists of vertical section. The roof is fully boarded beneath the slates. The Old Granary is approximately 80 meters west-northwest of Hyde Farmhouse, which was authorized for conversion to a dwelling at the time of the survey in October 1984.
