Description

Home Farm Granary is a two-storey granary built in red brick, roughly in the shape of a cube. It features a gutterless pyramid slate roof with metal hips and a prominent apex lantern. The brickwork is laid in stretcher bond, except for minor irregularities where the two internal piers on each face are integrated. The base of the granary is made of concrete, which has replaced an earlier timber base frame, and it is supported by 16 staddle stones. These staddle stones are truncated pyramids topped with chamfered cap stones, each about 1 meter tall and resting on a foundation slab.

On the north side, there is a door set in a recessed frame, with two restored six-pane sash windows above and two boarded-up openings below. The south side has four boarded-up openings. The east and west sides each feature one sash window above and one below, with heads formed by two-course soldier-brick flat arches. The octagonal lantern has a four-pane window above a pigeonhole on each face, topped with an octagonal slate roof and a remnant of an iron finial or weathervane.

Inside, there are two half-brick piers on each internal face, and two main floor beams running north to south, with stairs located opposite the door.
