Farm Building To East Of Horsegrove

The farm building to the east of Horsegrove is a model farm constructed around 1899 for Sydney Snelgrove, associated with Marshall and Snelgrove's department store in London. It is designed in the Vernacular Revival style and features red brick in English bond, some timber framing, and sandstone at the center of the south front. The building has tile-hanging on the center of the north front and a hipped tiled roof with wooden louvres and a spire.

This rectangular structure is one storey with attics and serves multiple functions, including cowsheds on the west, a feed room in the center, a dairy at the center south, cartsheds to the northeast, and stables and a piggery to the southeast. The south front showcases a central overhanging gable supported by wooden brackets, which is timber-framed with plastered infill on a sandstone plinth. It features two 15-pane top pivoting casements and a central Dutch door with a rectangular glazed fanlight. The roof includes a central ornamental ventilation louvre topped with a spire and a metal weathervane. Each side of the roof has two hipped dormers and large ventilation louvres.

On the west side, there are three cambered triple mullioned and transomed wooden casements and a cambered doorcase. The east side has two cambered triple mullioned and transomed wooden casements, a stable door, and a larger opening. The north front features a central hipped roofed tiled hayloft with window and door openings to the west and a four-bay open cartshed with timber supports on brick piers to the east. The east front includes a cartshed opening to the north and one narrow and one wide wooden doorcase with a cambered head to the south.

Inside, the cowsheds have angled queen strut roofs supported by iron tie rods, purlins, and rafters with ridgepieces. The cartshed has a similar roof structure. The feed room has a steep wooden staircase leading to the loft, and the dairy is equipped with slate shelves and glazed cream tiles. Notably, there was no farmhouse; this model farm was built behind the house of Sydney Snelgrove's bailiff.
