Description

The implement store south of Cumrew Farmhouse is a structure that was formerly a house and barn, likely dating from the late 16th century. It features extremely thick walls made of red sandstone rubble, some of which incorporate materials from the nearby medieval church, and is topped with a green slate roof. The building has two storeys and two bays.

On the ground floor, there is an entrance on the left with a plank door and a chamfered surround. Flanking the entrance are fragments of stone with dogtooth and zigzag decorations. Above the entrance, to the right, is a small square window with a chamfered surround and holes for iron bars. To the right of the entrance, a 19th-century cart entrance has been cut through the wall, featuring plank doors, a wooden lintel, and a snecked stone surround.

At the rear, there is a single-storey lean-to extension that has late 17th-century mullioned windows, which are now filled in. The original rear wall has been partially demolished and is now internal due to the extension. The building's proximity to the gates of the churchyard and the use of church materials in its construction suggest that it may have served as a fortified vicarage. Adjacent buildings that also belong to Cumrew Farm are listed separately and are included for group value with Cumrew Farmhouse.
