Cartshed And Granary, Farmsteading, Nabdean

An earlier 19th-century farmhouse with a connected cartshed and granary, forming part of a farmstead at Nabdean. The farmhouse is a two-storey, five-bay building (three bays visible on the first floor), constructed of tooled pink sandstone rubble with a harled rear addition. It has overhanging eaves supported by timber brackets, tooled quoins, and long and short surrounds to the windows. A single-storey ancillary structure sits at the rear, alongside a single-storey implement shed to the south.

The south elevation (the main entrance face) features a boarded timber door, set to the left of centre, sheltered by a gabled, rustic porch with uprights made from tree trunks. Single windows flank the entrance at ground level, with a further window to the right. Three single windows are present on the first floor, topped by gabled dormerheads that break the eaves. The east elevation shows a gable end with single windows on both floors to the left. The rear north elevation has single windows at both floors, offset to the left, and a blocked window at ground level to the far left. A flat-roofed, single-storey addition extends from the right side.

Predominantly nine-pane glazing is found in timber sash and case windows; some side windows have sixteen panes. Modern glazing exists at the rear, along with rear rooflights. The roof was re-tiled in 1999 and is covered in grey tiles, featuring fishscale banding and decorative brattishing along the ridge. Brick ridge and apex stacks have circular cans. The interior of the farmhouse was not inspected in 1999.

The two-storey cartshed and granary is adjoined to the left, also two bays in height (three bays visible on the first floor). It’s built of similar pink sandstone rubble with tooled dressings, and includes a large, segmental-arched former cart opening on the south elevation. This side also features three small windows at the first floor. Modern small-pane glazing is found in the doors, and the roof has fishscale banding and decorative brattishing.

A single-storey, mono-pitched store is located at the rear, constructed of a mix of sandstone rubble and red brick. The west elevation has two boarded doors set to the left of centre, and a roof that is partly tiled and partly fishscale-banded. Its interior was not inspected in 1999.

The single-storey, four-bay implement shed to the south has a rectangular plan. It’s built of tooled pink sandstone rubble with tooled dressings. The north elevation has an infilled bay with a boarded timber door to the far left and large, square-headed openings divided by columns in the remaining three bays. It has a grey slate piended roof. The interior of the implement shed was not inspected in 1999.

Low, coped rubble boundary walls partially enclose the house to the front, with a taller wall to one side.
