Description

The building is a store located to the northeast of Northend Place Cottages, dating from the 17th to 18th century. It was constructed using some old timbers and features a timber-framed structure that is partly clad in wattle and daub or lath and plaster, and partly in weatherboarding. The roof is covered with clay peg tiles. An extension on the southeast gable is made of brick with flint rubble walls and has a clay pantile roof. The building consists of three bays, with an irregular frame of reused timbers and diagonal braces, while the central bay is marked by heavy posts and tie beams, one of which includes substantial curved braces. At one end of the roof, a small space has been created with a "floor" and plastered walls, likely adapted for storing seed corn away from brown rats in the mid-18th century. This farmyard is depicted on Chapman and Andre's map from 1777.
