Description
The dairy and bakehouse range, built around 1600, is located immediately south of Tudor Grange, which was previously known as Watering Farmhouse. At the time of the survey, part of the building was being used as a farm office.
This two-storey structure is timber-framed, with the front infilled with herringbone bricknogging, likely added in the late 19th or early 20th century. The rear features plastered wattle-and-daub infill panels. Notably, the close-studding includes unusual paired serpentine braces at each corner. The ground storey walling was mostly rebuilt in the 19th century using red brick. The roof is plain tiled and hipped at the left-hand end, where the bakehouse is located.
Inside the bakehouse, there is a red brick chimney that was added in the 17th or 18th century. The upper floor retains all ten original diamond-mullioned windows, most of which are four lights. One window has an internal boarded sliding shutter, while most have battened louvres on the outside. The ground storey features various 19th-century casements. A well-crafted original moulded plank entrance door faces the service wing of the house.
The bakehouse on the left-hand end has a two-bay design with a lightly smoke-blackened roof, indicating it was likely unfloored in the past. The central two-bay area was probably used as a dairy with a granary above, as the upper room still contains grain bins. The open trusses feature strongly-cambered tie-beams with cranked arch-braces, and the roof is supported by good wind-braced clasped purlins. The upper part of the building remains largely unaltered, making it an excellent example of its type.
