Description

The granary located about 10 meters west of Higher East Coombe Farmhouse is an early 19th-century building that serves as a granary over a waggon shed. The ground floor features walls made of stone rubble and a plastered stud and braced wall with brick nogging on the first floor. It has a hipped dry slate roof and a one-room plan for the first-floor grain store, which is situated above the waggon shed that is open at both ends. The west wall is built into a low bank, and the structure is two stories tall.

Access to the first floor is provided by a central entrance on the west side, which is reached by a straight flight of nine stone steps adjacent to the wall. There are large entrances to the waggon shed on both the north and south sides, and small windows with iron bars are located above each entrance on the first floor. The interior retains its original structure, featuring heavy cross beams that support the granary floor, with the end two beams serving as the bottom rails of the timber-framed walling above. The original roof structure includes lapped collars on the trusses, and the wall surfaces are plastered. This building is included for its group value.
