Description
The granary at Vantage Farm is an 18th-century coachhouse that was remodeled in 1873 for G W Mercer-Henderson. It features a long two-storey range set into a slope, constructed from squared and tooled rubble with polished dressings. The courtyard front was remodeled in 1873, showcasing the west part of the two-storey range that includes two carriage houses, one with an arched head, both featuring herring-bone boarded doors. There are two first-floor windows that break the eaves with segment dormer heads, and a corbelled centre arched window, which has a date stone below it, with a clock face in a rope-moulded frame set into a raised panel that is decorated with consoles, a pediment, and a finial. The east side has five bays, with one modern stapping at ground level.
The rear elevation shows that the west section is the earliest, with small sash and case windows and flyover steps leading to a door on the first floor. A slightly later addition on the east has regularly placed sash and case windows. There are corniced stacks dating from 1875 and a slate roof.
The granary itself dates from around 1830 and is attached to the east gable of the coachhouse. It is a long two-storey bank barn with stugged coursers and a segmental arch in the southwest elevation that opens to the courtyard. There is a large entrance to the loft on the north gable, which is accessed by a ramp, and gable head finials, though the one on the north is missing.
Additionally, there is a dairy cottage from 1862 attached to the west gable of the coachhouse. This single-storey, three-bay house has sash and case windows and a parallel dairy block at the rear with a roof ventilator. The cottage features two west-facing gables with blind oculi, a corniced stack, and an elaborate date panel on the dairy. The property is also marked by two drum gate piers with bell-cast caps and spiked cast-iron gates.
