Group Of Farmbuildings, Comprising Planned Farmstead With Granary, Root Store And Straw Barn, Cart Sheds, Shippons, Shelter Sheds, And Stables Approximately 15 Metres West Of Dinnaton Farmhouse

This group of farm buildings, dating from 1853, forms a planned farmstead located approximately 15 metres west of Dinnaton Farmhouse. Constructed from stone rubble with some brick, the buildings feature slate roofs and are arranged around a courtyard plan. The layout includes shippons, lofted shelter sheds, stables, cart sheds, a granary, a root store, and a straw barn.

The cart sheds, which have a loft above, are notable for their four cambered brick arches supported by granite pillars. On the east side, the shippons feature three doorways and window openings facing the courtyard, providing access to the lofts above the shelter sheds, which have six cambered brick arches on their outer face. The stables have two doorways and an axial brick stack on the west side.

The two parallel stock buildings are now connected by a gabled corrugated iron roof over a central passage. The eastern range has three doorways with ventilation slits, retaining most of its original interior fittings. The western range includes a wide cart opening, a single doorway to the left, and two doorways to the right, all with slightly cambered brick arches.

At the storage and processing end, there is a cambered stone arch with a loft door above at the west end, along with external stone steps leading to the loft door, which features a datestone from 1853 with the Bedford crest above at the east gable end. The original gearing and some machinery remain intact. This farmstead was formerly part of the Duke of Bedford estate.
