Description
The granary, barns, and outbuildings at Higher Stadbury Farm are 18th-century structures that create a three-sided courtyard, located at the southwest corner of Greystone Cottage, which is also known as Stadbury Farmhouse. The buildings are constructed of rubble, with roofs made of various materials including slate, double-Roman tiles, and corrugated iron.
The hipped granary is positioned at right angles to the front of the farmhouse and features a garage door opening below, along with a flight of stone steps leading to a plank door on the farmhouse side. It has two rows of pigeon openings at the eaves. Attached to the granary at the corner is a two-storey gabled building that includes a loading bay in the gable, a rounded corner, and a small plank door with a segmental head in an otherwise plain wall. The outer end of this building is hipped.
To the left of the granary, accessible through a five-bar gate, is a 19th-century two-storey building with a corrugated iron roof, which has a brick segmental head to the door in the gable end. On the far side of the stockyard, there are two large barns in a continuous run. The older barn, likely from the 18th century, is lower and constructed of rubble, featuring a large plank opening beneath a blocked opening. The 19th-century barn, which is closer to the farmhouse, has a double Roman tile roof, is two storeys high, and includes various openings with segmental voussoirs, as well as a throughway. The rear of this barn includes a projecting arm and a horse engine house. This diverse group of buildings, which has not been fully inspected, serves as an important architectural and historical complement to the farmhouse.
