Granary (25M South Of Sunton House)

This 18th-century granary, located 25 meters south of Sunton House in Collingbourne Ducis, is a free-standing structure. It is timber framed and weather boarded, resting on twelve stone staddles, and features a pitched slate roof.

The entrance is at the west gable end, where there is a vertical planked door and a ventilation window above. The side elevations are blind, while the east gable end has a small ventilation window at ground floor level.

Inside, the granary is mostly complete. The internal plank lining to the walls remains in places, including lath and plaster on the underside of the rafters and ceiling at collar level. Near the entrance, there is a small winding stair leading to a boarded grain bin, with additional wood-partitioned bins extending along the full length of the building at first floor level.

Sunton Farm dates from the early to mid-18th century, with Sunton House, the former farmhouse, built around 1710. The granary is marked on the Collingbourne Kingston Tithe Map of 1844.

This granary is designated for listing at grade II because it is a good example of an 18th-century freestanding granary on stone staddles, with an almost intact interior, which is now very rare. It is also part of an important group of associated farm buildings, including Sunton House.
