Building record 2723/1/6 - Late 18th/ early 19th century farm building

{1} The building is of red brick with a modern slate roof. The bricks are laid in a Flemish Garden Wall bond with modern lime mortar pointing, and the stone plinth visible on the south eastern elevation suggests that the building may have been built on earlier footings. The building consists of three bays. There are three large openings, on the north west facing elevation so the building may have originally been open-fronted. There is a fourth opening on the south west facing elevation.
Internally, the building has been extensively renovated; there is a block-work skin and cement render. The roof is carried on modern Queen post trusses. There is an inserted wall on an angle but it is unclear whether it is an inserted wall or replaced an earlier wall on the same alignment.
