Former cartshed south of Small Barn, 10m west of Upper Cufaude Farmhouse

Cartshed, early C19.

MATERIALS: timber construction with side walls of red brick laid in Sussex bond and a clay tiled roof.

PLAN: the building is located in the middle of the former Cufaude farmstead and has a rectangular plan orientated west to east. It forms loose yards to the north and south, enclosed by other former agricultural buildings.

EXTERIOR: the north elevation of the building has three open-sided bays with timber posts with curved braces supported on low brick piers. The left bay is enclosed by a brick plinth with weather-boarding above. Return walls are built of brick and have weatherboarded gables; the east has a three-light casement window. The south elevation has been reinforced with a concrete block wall and retains weatherboarding to the exterior.

INTERIOR: internally the building materials of the walls are left exposed, hence are a mix of brick, block and weather-boarding. The roof is constructed with three king post trusses using machine-sawn timbers, with the gables consisting of multiple upright posts and diagonal struts.
