Outbuilding Adjoining North Of Hansel

This is an outbuilding located to the north of Hansel, likely originally a farm building. It probably dates from the 17th century, with extensions made in the 18th century and alterations in the 19th and 20th centuries. The structure is built of whitewashed stone rubble and plastered cob, topped with a grouted slate roof that is gabled at the south end and half-hipped at the north end.

The building has a rectangular plan aligned north-south. At the south end, there is a small one-storey and attic cottage with a gable end stack, which is incorporated into the dwelling accommodation of Hansel. The two buildings are linked by a 20th-century wing. The northern part of the building is open to the roof and was originally a farm building, to which the one-room cottage was added in the 18th century. In the 20th century, a wide vehicular entrance was created in the west front of the farm building.

The exterior features one storey and an attic at the right end, while the left end is open to the road with a high storey. The west front is asymmetrical, with the right-hand end slightly recessed, featuring a small 19th-century three-light casement on the ground floor and a 20th-century flat-roof dormer above. There is a large vehicular entrance near the center, and a ventilation slit is located low on the left end of the front. The lower (north) end has a small window near ground level and a 19th-century two-light casement above with margin panes. The south gable is mostly blind, except for some pigeon holes, and to the right are 20th-century casements at different levels, along with a doorway that has a 20th-century glazed plank door and a flat-roof dormer above it.

Inside, the lower (north) end is open to the roof, which features late 19th or 20th-century soft-wood scissor-brace trusses. The cottage part at the higher south end has a fireplace with a roughly chamfered timber lintel, and the ceiling beams here are later replacements.
