The Dairy Immediately North East Of Dairy Cottage

The Dairy, located immediately northeast of Dairy Cottage, is an estate dairy built around 1840-1842, likely at the same time as the remodelling of Shadwell Court by Edward Blore. The structure is made of plastered clay lump on a flint and brick plinth, although much of the plaster has been damaged. It features a thatched roof that is hipped at the front with a small gablet and gabled at the rear.

The building has a T-shaped plan, with the front room forming the stem of the T, surrounded by a rustic colonnade. Behind this front room are two smaller rooms in the bar of the T, with the left-hand rear room containing a later stack on its back wall. There are doorways providing access: one at the front leading directly into the front room, one at the back, and another into the side of the left-hand rear room.

The exterior is a single storey with a symmetrical front. The deep eaves of the thatched roof are supported by rustic tree trunks that create a verandah at the front and sides, although the front verandah has collapsed. The central arched doorway has a plank door with wrought-iron hinges and is flanked by single-light windows featuring cast iron diamond pane casements. At the rear, there are large wooden casements, a plank door between them, and a tall brick stack to the right.

The interior has not been inspected but is reported to retain its original range of slate bedded work surfaces.
