GV II

Group of farm buildings forming a courtyard, including
threshing barn and shelter sheds. Part dated 1874. Coursed and
squared rubble and brick with stone-flagged roofs. Barn forms
one side of courtyard, with open structure facing yard, the
roof carried on brick piers. Central entrance with low brick
walls to storage bays each side. Rear elevation has central
double doors in segmental archway dated 1874 with initials SA
in the keystone. Smaller segmental arched openings to upper
loft with plank shutters set beneath gabled dormers with
finials to bargeboards. Flanking shelter sheds form
right-angled returns of courtyard, with segmentally-arched
openings (blocked in western unit) in rear elevation forming
symmetrical composition with barn. Some alteration to openings
on courtyard side, but original stabling(?) survives in
right-hand (eastern) range: 2 doorways and 3 windows. Open
shelter shed alongside, the roof carried on cast-iron column.
Similar structure to left hand range, with some open shelter
bays as well as enclosed animal accommodation. Probably built
or rebuilt as a single planned development.
