Description

This outbuilding, located at the gable end of a former farmhouse, dates back to the early 17th century and has been converted into three cottages, and later into a garage and storerooms. It is constructed of colourwashed flint with brick dressings and is one storey high with an attic. The building features two plank doors and four 19th-century two-light casement windows. Notable architectural details include a dentil cornice, two sloping dormers, one gable-end stack, and an off-centre axial stack with its shaft removed. There are also a pair of blocked windows and a blocked door with rectangular hood moulds in the gable end. A winding stair is located beside the axial stack, and there is one blocked two-light chamfered mullion window that retains stay bars, along with arrowhead chamfer stops. The building has group value with the adjacent Gable-End.
