Description
The granary at Whitehouse Farm, located 10 meters northwest of the house, dates from around 1700, with some piers possibly renewed in the 19th century. It features an exposed timber frame with red brick infill beneath a hipped old red tile roof. The structure is raised on short red brick piers topped with oversailing caps of York stone. This small rectangular building has three bays and faces south within the farmyard, elevated on four piers. It includes a central door on the south side and an original small window at the rear. The corners are supported by long diagonal tension braces and jowled corner posts. Inside, the roof has clasped purlins on inclined queen-post trusses, and mortices in the tie beam indicate that the eastern bay was originally partitioned off.
