Description
This description covers an outhouse, farm buildings, and a wall with beeboles located 45 meters to the west of Standon Lordship. The wall and outhouse date back to the 16th century, while the farm buildings were constructed in the 19th century. The structure features a thin old red brick wall and an outbuilding, with timber-framed and weatherboarded farm buildings that match the 19th-century red brick screen wall along the north side of the farm buildings. The old brick outhouse at the northeast corner has a red tiled roof, while the other roofs are slated.
The outhouse is a tall, square, single-storey building with a brick gable-parapet on kneelers, an offset plinth, and a Tudor-arched opening on the north end with a brick drip mould. The east wall extends south for about 30 meters, forming a 3-meter-high garden wall that defines the west side of the terraced garden south of the mansion. This wall features five arched recesses for bee skips, known as beeboles, on its east face.
To the north, the wall continues west as a screen wall to the mansion forecourt, constructed from reused old brick and mimicking the Tudor-arched opening for a door near the east end. This wall also forms a high gabled end for a timber-framed, five-bay barn that runs south from its west end. The barn has unjowled posts, long curved braces to the tie-beams, rails tennoned in-line in the walls, and opposed double doors in the middle bay. Additionally, there is an open-fronted six-bay cattle shelter against the wall facing south, supported at mid-span by a lower cranked beam in each bay.
