Description
The granary, oasthouses, and oast cottage at Swarling Manor were built in 1779, likely at the same time as the main house. The granary faces south and is three storeys tall, constructed of red brick with a hipped tiled roof and a modillion eaves cornice. It features windows on the right side and a central doorway on each floor, with the ground floor having a double door and a hoist above. At each end of the granary, there are two-storey window bays, which were probably added later, made of red brick with grey headers. The west window bay has been converted into a dwelling known as Oast Cottage. To the north of the granary, there are six square oasthouses, enclosed by a continuous red brick wall, each topped with pyramidal tiled roofs and revolving wooden cowls.
