Description
February 2013. Heritage assessment.
This building sits at right angles to the timber framed barn (EHER 80876) and forms a lean-to against the South elevation of the cattle shed (EHER 80874). The cartographic evidence shows that the barn was built as an open fronted lean-to between 1874 and 1896. Historically it was used as a calf house, but recently has become stables. The Southern and Eastern elevations are built of Fletton bricks, laid in Flemish bond with cement mortar. The pent roof is covered in corrugated iron sheeting. There is a stable door in the centre of the South elevation, flanked by a pair of high level long and narrow window openings. The interior was inaccessible but it is likely that the roof structure is original. It is due to be demolished. <1>

Google Earth imagery suggests the building was demolished sometime between the survey in 2013 and 2017. It does not appear on imagery from 2017.<2>
