History

Early C19 carthouse block with granary above. This represents one of the last significant buildings to be erected on this site.

Exterior

Long rectangular carthouse and granary block of limestone rubble construction with medium-pitched slate roof. Three depressed-arched openings to the NE (yard-facing) side, with rough-dressed voussoirs. To the L is an external stone-stepped stair ascending from L to R and giving first-floor access via a boarded door in frame. Two 2-light boarded windows to the upper floor, with a boarded loading bay beyond. Large boarded opening to the road-facing gable end (L), with plain window opening to the rendered upper gable. A plain rubble addition adjoins to the R, set back.

Adjoining the lane-facing gable flush to the L, and running parallel with the inclined lane, is a stretch of limestone rubble revetment wall partly defining and enclosing an orchard.

Interior

The interior was not inspected at the time of survey.
