GV

II

Outbuilding, possibly originally open shed or small barn, now store. Late C18 or early C19. Rubble, painted on wall facing house, concrete tile roof. A long building with principal entrance on lower side, facing north west, and various lean-to additions; on this side is one wide opening with steel joist lintol, two early lean-tos with slate roof, and a later addition in concrete block. Towards Colcharton (qv) is a half-hipped section, belonging to the former farmhouse, in two floors, and with plank door flanked by six-pane light at head of flight of eleven stone steps; further door below. Main wall facing south-east has former wide opening, now blocked, and series of former ventilation slots with grilles. The outer end has rendered gable with two-light casement.

Interior has series of simple pegged collar trusses in nine bays.

At the house end the building is attached to the main house by a section of wall in rubble, with wide opening, and a small cobbled courtyard is enclosed. The first section of the building, to a straight joint in the masonry, belongs to Colcharton, the remainder to the adjacent farm. The building is principally significant for its group value with the house in enclosing the garden.
