Outbuilding Adjoining North East Angle Of Middleton Hall And Adjoining Wall

This building is an outbuilding that adjoins the north-east angle of Middleton Hall and an adjoining wall. It is an extension to the north wing of Middleton Hall, now functioning as a separate outbuilding, dating from the early to mid 15th century. The structure is made of stone rubble with dressed quoins and features a stone slate roof. It has two storeys, with the eaves raised.

The south elevation includes a large pointed entrance that is now blocked and has an inserted window, with a pitching hole above it. The north elevation also has a pitching hole. The east gable end features a cusped round-headed light above a 20th-century attached shed. There is a short length of wall attached to this end, which has a short return approximately level with the south-east wing of the hall; this is believed to be part of a curtain wall, although this is not certain. A small recess for a well on the south side of the wall is now blocked. The west gable end has a blocked first-floor entrance and shows signs of a cruck framed roof truss.

Inside, the building contains a heavy beam and flat joists. The roof truss features a cambered chamfered tie beam with struts.
