Description
The former farm buildings to the north of Ardingly College, now used as classrooms, were constructed between 1878 and 1881 and designed by architect William Butterfield. They form a three-sided courtyard that is open on the south side, alongside the farmhouse. The complex consists of three long, single-storey buildings. The west building originally served as cow-stalls, while the other two sides functioned as barns. The buildings are made of red brick and feature tiled roofs. Notably, the east and north buildings have large timbered projecting hips at the center above the former wagon entrances.
