NZ6421NE MARSKE ROAD, Marske 802-1/6/11 (North side (off)) 29/01/96 Tofts Farm: building west of farmhouse

GV II

Cart sheds and lofts. Early C19 cart sheds with mid-late C19 cartsheds and loft. Coursed squared sandstone with ashlar dressings; roofs Welsh slate to cartshed and loft, pantiles to others, with stone ridges. L-plan. EXTERIOR: cart shed and loft 2 storeys, 6 bays, continuing from part of earlier building at right which formerly continued to farmhouse gable; stop chamfers to square piers forming 4 cart shelters at left, the first with boarded wood doors and the other 3 with partly glazed hit-and-miss ventilators above with projecting stone sills. At right of fifth bay a stone platform to boarded loft door is reached by stone steps alongside adjacent cartshed; sixth bay has short cartshed breaking forward with blank side wall, with front double boarded doors in high round stone arch. To right a second cartshed, longer and higher, has similar doors to front elevation. Behind this the remaining section of the earlier building. INTERIOR: not inspected. HISTORY: the farm probably served the arising needs of the expanding market created by the development of the nearby ironstones mines by the Pease family in the mid C19. This is an unusually complete example of a developed farm.
