Granary About 60 Metres South East Of Wardsbrook Farmhouse

The granary, located about 60 metres southeast of Wardsbrook Farmhouse, is a structure likely built in the 18th century. It features a weatherboarded timber frame resting on a brick plinth, topped with a red clay plain tile half-hipped roof. The building is designed in a three-bay layout, with an outshut on the front right that contains a staircase leading to the granary on the first floor.

On the ground floor, there is a central doorway immediately to the left of the outshut. The left bay is partitioned off for a stable, which is accessed from the left end of the building. The granary stands two storeys tall. The south front has a right section that projects under a catslide roof, with a doorway to the right and another doorway immediately to the left, both featuring 20th-century plank doors. There are small square window openings on both floors at the east end and another on the first floor at the rear (north). The left end has a doorway to the right with a 20th-century plank door, along with a small corridor to the left and another above in the gable.

Inside, the granary showcases light scantling construction with a three-bay large frame and jowled posts. It has two central trusses made of light scantling timbers, each with a cruck blade on the north side that supports a collar with clasped purlins above, resembling a base cruck. Instead of a couch blade, the south side of each truss features a thin curved brace or strut that rises from the first floor beam to support the collar above. This cruck derivative is an unusual find in the southeast of England. Additionally, there is a row of wooden pegs on the ground storey in the outshut, likely used for harnesses. The stable at the left end is separated by a low partition and includes a wooden manger on the back wall.
