Description
The granary adjoining the threshing barn at Rumshed Farm is a building likely dating from the late 18th century to the early 19th century. The south wall is made of ragstone rubble at the ground floor, while the loft features a framed construction clad with weatherboarding. The north wall is also framed and weatherboarded, topped with a peg-tile roof.
The granary is oriented on a west-east axis and is situated between the threshing barn and a late 19th-century milking parlour. It has a simple rectangular plan with a large doorway on the north elevation. The north side features double doors in the centre, a four-light window to the right, two loft windows, and a loft loading door. The south elevation has two first-floor windows and no doorway. The roof is hipped at the west end and gabled at the east end, where it connects to the threshing barn.
Inside, there is a flight of internal steps against the south wall, and the walls have slender framing. The roof structure consists of a clasped purlin collar rafter roof made of sawn timber with slender scantling, secured with projecting pegs and reinforced with iron ties.
This granary is part of a well-preserved farmstead group that includes other agricultural buildings and Rumshed Farmhouse. The farm was renamed from St Julian's Farm in 1975. The parish and district boundary runs through the farmhouse, which is partly located in Sevenoaks District.
