Description
This building is a granary and dovecote situated over a cart-shed, located 30 metres south-southwest of South Grounds Farmhouse. It dates from the early 19th century, or possibly the 18th century. The structure is built from local slate rubble and features dressed slate stringcourses. It has a hipped slate roof topped with black ridge tiles.
The building is square in plan, with a cart-shed on the ground floor that includes a doorway on the east side. The first floor houses the granary, which has external pigeon holes located above the eaves. The exterior consists of two storeys, with a dressed slate stringcourse just above the first floor and a continuous slate ledge beneath the pigeon holes at the eaves. On the north side, there is a stone flight of steps leading up to the first floor granary doorway on the left, with two tiers of pigeon holes above. The east side features a wide cart doorway fitted with 20th-century plank doors, while the west side has ground and first floor windows with 20th-century casements. The interior has not been inspected, but it is noted that the grain bins on the first floor are said to have been removed.
