Description

This is a farm building, likely used as a granary, located approximately 50 metres to the northeast of the house at Edolphs. It dates from the late 18th century and has undergone later alterations, including 20th-century outshuts. The building is constructed of limestone rubble brought to course, with red brick quoins, and features a tile-hung south gable. It has a plain tile roof, with outshuts made of brick on one side, featuring a weatherboard gable, and corrugated iron on the other side.

The structure is two storeys high with two bays and has outshut additions along each side. On the west side, inside the outshut, there is a pegged wood-frame doorway on the right, and on the left end, there are two blocked openings at floor level, one of which is arched. The centre has uneven stonework. The east side has a blocked original first-floor window on the right, which has an exposed wood frame, and a later window on the left under the eaves, with exposed rafter feet.

At the north end, there is a brick gable with an exposed roof truss that includes a tie-beam, posts up to the collar (which frames a later window), v-struts to the principal rafters, and ends of clasped purlins.

Inside, the ground floor is whitewashed and features a door leading to a steep ladder stair. The joists and floorboards are crude, with the southeast corner blackened and originally having access to the first floor in the northwest corner. The first floor has plastered floors and walls, a lath and plaster ceiling, and a central roof truss with a tie-beam and raking queen struts, along with a boarded partition below. There is a board storage bin in the southwest corner and a blocked later window on the west side. This building is a well-constructed example of 18th-century farm architecture, retaining significant interior features associated with its original use as a granary.
