Granary Immediately North Of Ashwell

The building is a granary, likely built over a store, dating from around the late 18th or early 19th century. Constructed of slate rubble, it features a half-hipped scantle slate roof. The granary is rectangular in plan and has external stone stairs with slate treads and a 20th-century wooden balustrade at the west gable end, providing access to a first-floor doorway. This doorway is sheltered by a slate canopy supported on wooden cantilevers and has a flush panel door. A doorway to the ground floor, also with a two-panel door, is located under the stairs. Both doors are believed to have originated from inside the main house. There are two-light casement windows on both the first and ground floors of the south front. The ground floor is elevated at the rear, where there is one first-floor two-light casement window. All openings are topped with wooden lintels. Inside the roof, collars are nailed to the faces of the principal rafters.
