Description

This granary, located about 40 metres southeast of Buston Manor, dates from the late 16th century or early 17th century. It is constructed of coursed ragstone with red brick gables above the eaves, laid in English bond, and features a plain tile roof. The building has two storeys and a garret, set on a high galleted stone plinth. The gables are crow-stepped with stone kneelers, and there is a diagonally-set corbelled brick finial on the east gable end.

The granary has small rectangular chamfered stone lights, each designed for glass and morticed for a central vertical bar. There are two lights on the first floor and one on the ground floor of the north elevation, one light on each floor at the west end of the south elevation (with the east end altered), two lights on the first floor and one centrally-placed on the ground floor of the west gable end, and two lights on the first floor of the east gable end. An attic loading door with a pegged, chamfered wooden architrave is located on the east gable, along with a blocked attic doorway on the west. The north elevation features central boarded doors on both the ground and first floors.

Inside, the granary was formerly plastered and has heavy scantling beams and joists. The tie-beams are bevelled, and the roof consists of four bays with clasped purlins, diminishing principal rafters, windbraces, and vertical queen-struts to the collars. There are also inserted wooden stairs with solid triangular treads. The granary is situated very close to the north end of the adjacent barn.
