Description
This is an outbuilding located to the west-north-west of Whychurch Farmhouse, dating from November 2nd, 1798, as indicated by the leadwork. The structure is built from Flemish bond brick and features stone slate roofs.
The building has a rectangular plan with one-storey shelter sheds on either side of a three-storey dovecote/store that has a hipped roof. The six-bay shelter sheds were originally open-fronted and still retain circular brick piers. The dovecote/store includes two semi-circular arched doorways on the ground floor, which have stone key and impost blocks, as well as stone lozenge-shaped panels and two string courses on the upper floor. There is an entry at the rear.
Inside, the building has a principal-rafter roof supported by butt purlins, and the top floor of the dovecote contains doveholes.
This outbuilding is a notable example of farm building from the Age of Improvement, showing clear influences from architects such as Samuel Wyatt.
