Description
Flint and brick with gabled slate roof. It is not shown on the 1840 tithe map, but is shown on the first edition Ordnance Survey map of c.1870. Here, the building is set to the west of a small yard, with other small buildings bounding the yard to the east and south. At this time, the building was set in fields, and thus predates the surrounding development. It appears the building was originally a barn, and may have later been a riding stable. It has now been converted, and extended to the rear. The yard and associated buildings do not survive other than for low flint walls.
