Description

This is an outbuilding, likely constructed as a stable with a granary above, dating from the 17th century. It is timber-framed, with the gable facing the road plastered, while the south side features brick nogging and 20th-century false half-timbering. Much of the ground floor walling is supported by 19th or 20th-century red brick. The roof is covered with plain tiles and has a weathervane on the west gable. There are 20th-century windows with horizontal slatted louvres, and a boarded door leads to the granary at the gable that faces the street.
