Description
This granary, located 30 metres south-east of Perces Farmhouse, dates from the mid-16th century. It is constructed from timber framing, covered with weatherboarding, and has a roof made of corrugated iron. The building consists of three bays arranged approximately northwest to southeast and was extended to the northwest in the 18th or 19th century. It stands two storeys high with a hipped roof at both ends.
The structure features jowled posts that support binding beams, which are stop-chamfered. It has 'Suffolk' bracing that is trenched outside the heavy studding. The plain joists are of horizontal section and are jointed to the binding beams using soffit tenons with diminished haunches. On the southeast end of the upper floor, there are two unglazed windows; one has four complete diamond mullions, while the other has two out of three diamond mullions remaining. The roof is a crownpost design with axial bracing and down braces to the tiebeam.
The granary is connected to a less significant 19th-century two-storey red brick building to the northwest and a single-storey flint and brick building with a handmade red plain tile roof to the northeast. The farmhouse itself is not listed.
