February 2013. Heritage assessment. The dairy is located immediately to the SW of the cartlodge (EHER 80872). Cartographic evidence shows that the barn was constructed after 1920 and before 1939. It was originally built for use as a dairy, but has recently been used as stable and tack room. It is timber framed on a concrete plinth and the exterior elevations are covered in softwood weatherboarding. The ridged roof is covered in corrugated cement asbestos sheeting. A single bay extension has been added to the West. This is constructed of softwood framing on a Fletton brick plinth. The floor is of concrete. There is a boarded, ledged and braced stable door to the North elevation of the main barn and a boarded, ledged and braced door to the North elevation of the extension. The interior has softwood framing with primary bracing, faced with sterling board to 1.2m from the floor and thin plaster sheeting above. There is a high level single light four-pane window in the East gable and a three-light, middle opening, casement in the South elevation. A similar casement is located in the West elevation. A central tie beam crosses the interior, with an additional tie beam to the East. The ceiling is boarded. The floor in the main barn consists of tiles over concrete, in the extension the floor is of concrete. <1>
