Description
The former cart store, stable, and barn located to the east of The Old Mill is an early 19th-century agricultural building. It is constructed of limestone rubble with dressed voussoirs and features slate roofs, including half-hipped roofs over the cart shed, which is covered in corrugated iron. The layout consists of a central cart shed, a stable on the left, and a barn on the right, which includes a fodder store room and is built against a bank that provides access to the upper floors.
The building is two storeys high with a two-arch cart shed that was originally fitted with double doors. Above the cart shed, there is a hay loft door, and there is a matching opening to the bank behind. The stable has a central doorway with a timber lintel and door that includes sliding ventilation slots, flanked by segmental-arched windows with vertical slats below tilting casements. A lower single-storey range to the left is currently obscured by ivy. The barn, which is set forward, features two original segmental-arched doorways leading to the cattle shed, along with a 20th-century window inserted in the middle beneath a doorway to the upper barn. This upper barn has timber brackets for a former hoist, and there is a wider entrance to the right-hand store with double doors. The rear of the building has a wide central opening.
Inside, the cart store has a collar truss roof with set-offs in the walls that indicate where the former hay loft floor was located. The barn contains a feeding trough and hay rack, with a passage against the rear wall for filling the trough and access hatches in the floor above. The cart store showcases characteristic architectural features, while the bank barn remains an intact example of its original design. This building is noted as an early 19th-century farm structure that contributes to the historical context of the adjoining mill.
