Description
The building is an implement shed with a granary loft and an adjoining cottage at Home Farm, dating from around 1840. It was designed by Samuel Taylor, a gentleman farmer with architectural interests, for his uncle Meadows Taylor. This structure is part of a model farm illustrated in J C London's Encyclopaedia of Rural Architecture. The implement shed and granary range, along with the adjoining cottage, are the only parts included in the listing; the rest of the farm, which consists of single-storey ranges arranged around stock yards, is located to the northwest.
The building is constructed from flint cobbles with red brick dressings and features low-pitched hipped and gabled roofs covered with slate. The implement shed is a long structure with a weatherboarded granary loft above, supported by timber posts and divided by low brick walls into bays. To the south of the implement shed is the cottage, which is also made of flint with red brick dressings, featuring brick dentil eaves and a slate hipped roof. The cottage has segmental-headed windows with casements and a plank door. The house known as Stanton Place, also designed by Samuel Taylor, has been demolished and was located to the south of these farm buildings.
