Description

The Dovecote, Stable, and Granary at Rectory Farm is a group of agricultural buildings dating from the early 17th century, with the granary from the 18th century and a small stable added in the 19th century. The dovecote is constructed of narrow red brick in English bond and features a steep hipped-and-gablet roof covered with old red tiles, along with plastered gablets. The granary is built from red brick with black headers in Flemish bond and has a half-hipped red tiled roof. The stable is a low structure made of brick and slate.

This tall single-storey range consists of three buildings located slightly west of the farmhouse. The dovecote is at the west end, the stable is in the middle facing south, and the granary is at the east end, entered through its eastern gable. The granary has a stepped plinth and is oriented east-west, with a central door and gablets that were formerly louvred. Inside, it features two cross-beams and has a raised floor with a row of four round-arched openings in the plinth at the base of each side. There is also a boarded door at the upper level on the eastern end, with a two-light window above it. The stable has a central door on its southern side.
