Description
This farmbuilding, located approximately 10 metres north of Park House, is now used as a garage. It likely dates from the early 18th century, with a brick dated 1714, and has undergone alterations. The structure is built of red and blue brick, primarily in Flemish garden wall bond, with some timber framing and brick nogging at the upper level. It consists of two bays and two storeys.
The north elevation features a wide central entrance with a header-brick arch, and on the left side at a low level, there is a brick incised with 'IF1714'. Rafter feet are visible at the eaves, and the roof is half-hipped. The rear of the building has a blocked doorway on the right and a boarded opening to the lower section; the upper section displays timber mid rails and studs forming narrow panels.
On the left return, there is a bricked-up window below an opening with strap-hinged board shutters, and an iron tie-rod end is visible in the gable, along with exposed tie-beam and queen posts. The right return has a small bricked-up opening at low level and another in the gable.
Inside, the building features collared queen-post roof trusses clasped through purlins, old rafters, and straight wind-braces. The floor is cobbled, and inserted timbers support the loft floor, which previously supported a manger along the left-hand wall. The upper floor walls are plastered, indicating its use as a granary. However, since the loft appears to be an insertion, this may not have been the original function of the building. The initials on the dated brick likely refer to John Foster, who owned Park House in the early 18th century. It is possible that the building originally had more timber framing on the upper floor, which was later replaced by brickwork.
