Description
The Backhouse Room is a 17th century timber-framed building with one aisle, originally serving as the carthouse of Upper Handside farm.

The building features a modern brick plinth and weatherboarded infill, along with a hipped tile roof. There is some flint infill on the side, two dormer windows at the rear, and remnants of an external brick chimney. Inside, the roof and support timbers are exposed.
