Outbuilding Approximately 10 Metres To West Of Hood Farmhouse

This outbuilding, located approximately 10 metres to the west of Hood Farmhouse, is a Grade II listed structure that was formerly part of a dwelling. It dates back to the 16th century with a timber-frame section that was added to and altered in the early 19th century. The building is constructed from stone, brick, and timber-frame, topped with a 20th-century interlocking tile roof. It is a single-storey structure, with part of it having a loft, and consists of two by three bays.

The gabled garden front faces south; the left section, built in the 19th century, features herringbone-tooled coursed squared stone and has one large 20th-century window. The right section has quoins on the right and a rubble plinth, with a close-studded timber frame above. The left part of this section has studs on the plate, midrail, and upper plate, with a straight brace from the wall post, and is filled with wattle and daub and brick. The right part has been removed, leaving a large opening with brick above. The gable is made of orange-red brick in English garden wall bond, with the ends of timber joists visible. A brick ridge stack is present.

On the right return, the left part consists of rubble and assorted brick, while the right part is brick with a 20th-century board door on the right. The left return features a 19th-century section of stone with one window that does not extend as far as the earlier part, which has a stone ground floor and an offset first floor with stone quoins and a rendered brick and stud wall.

Inside, the right-hand section has chamfered cross-beams and joists that support broad floorboards in the upper room, along with a later stone fireplace. The roof trusses have curved struts to the purlins, similar to those in the wing of the farmhouse.
