Former farm building to the south-west of The Old Barn

This is an early 18th century former stable or animal housing, likely with a hayloft above, incorporating earlier timbers. Some alterations were made in the 20th century.

The building is timber-framed and mostly clad in weatherboarding, with a half-hipped tiled roof. It is one storey and attic, comprising two bays, originally providing animal accommodation on the ground floor and a hayloft above.

The north-east side displays exposed timber-framing with a midrail and closely-spaced studs on the attic floor, which are pegged and marked with carpenters’ marks. The framing includes a midrail and studs, with 20th century plasterboard infill. The ground floor has diagonal bracing, two original door openings, and two smaller 20th century window openings. The south-east end features an original hayloft opening with a 20th century casement above, and two further 20th century window openings below. The north-west end has a 20th century casement within the gable and a smaller 20th century window opening lower down.

Inside, the northern ground floor bay retains some original stone flooring and a nailed plank partition designed to protect the walls from animals. Sections of 20th century blockwork are visible. A wooden partition with a plank door divides the two bays, with more 20th century blockwork on the north side of the southern ground floor bay. Blockwork is also present on the west side, and the south wall is largely 20th century in construction. Part of the floor has been concreted in the 20th century.

The hayloft above showcases curved jowls to the bay posts, central queen struts with ties, clasped collar purlins and rafters that lack a ridge-piece. Some rafters appear to have been reused from an earlier common rafter roof. The wall-plate on the north-east side is reused and possibly smoke-blackened, displaying three sets of sockets designed for diamond-mullioned windows and deep grooves. A smaller, similar reused timber is present on the south-west side, featuring sockets for a diamond-mullioned window. Secondary diagonal braces are present at the gable ends.
