August 2020. Heritage assessment. A 19th century timber-framed granary, on a square plan with each side measuring 4.3-4.4m. The roof is pyramidal and covered with regular courses of red clay plain tiles. The timber-framed structure of the granary is elevated above the level of the ground and rests upon staddle stones, one placed at each corner and mid-way along each elevation (apart from the West side). The perimeter of this sub-floor space has been under-built (at least over two phases) using coursed brickwork. The East elevation contains the only door opening, reached via a short flight of concrete steps. All four elevations are partly clad in weatherboards and the timber frame beneath is infilled with brick noggin which can be best seen in the North elevation. The interior of the granary has four grain bins, two set each side of a central passage (aligned E-W) and each showing signs of later alteration. <1>
