Description

The dairy and other farm buildings, located 5 meters east of Midknowle Farmhouse, were probably built in 1853. They are constructed of red brick in Flemish bond and feature a single hipped roof made of Roman clay tiles, along with one brick chimney stack. The buildings are arranged in an L-plan and are low, single-storey structures that enclose a small yard to the east of the farmhouse. On the north side, which faces the road, there is a small central doorway and a loading platform, as well as a 2-light casement window with a bullnosed brick sill. This window is a rare survival in this area, representing a very humble farmstead associated with Midknowle Farmhouse.
