Description
The ancillary building located 50 meters south-east of Bradwell Hall is an early 16th-century structure that was part of the manor. It is timber framed, weatherboarded, and has a roof made of handmade red plain tiles. The building consists of two bays facing north-west and is two storeys tall, although it was originally part of a longer building.
An open implement shed is attached to the south-west side, and a stable is attached to the north-east side, but neither of these additions has special architectural or historic interest. The ground floor features a plain boarded door and two 20th-century metal casement windows. On the first floor, there is a plain boarded loading door and one defective window.
The building has jowled posts, heavy studding, and an axial beam with plain joists that are jointed to it using soffit tenons with diminished haunches. There is a wide arched doorhead above the current door. The roof structure includes a crownpost with heavy down-bracing to the central tiebeam and heavy arched bracing to the collar-purlin. The high quality of the frame and the wide doorhead suggest that this building was originally of manorial status, likely serving as a court hall or a granary/stable range. The boarding on the first floor is defective and has been replaced with corrugated iron.
