Abstract:		 Stylistically, the building is of the early to mid-19th century; this is confirmed by the historic map evidence which indicates a date for its construction somewhere between 1843 and 1885. The maps indicate this to have been a period of substantial change to the farmstead, the building being one of several ancillary/farm buildings constructed during this time, in addition to significant additions made at the rear of the house itself. The external fabric of the building reveals that it was constructed at the same time as the adjoining oast-house extension, although it is clear that it was always separate in terms of its function. The western end of the building range building originated as a stable block, having a central section with four stalls, a smaller western section, which probably contained two loose-boxes, and a tack-room at the eastern end. The upper floor which is served by the staircase at the eastern end, and the loading door on the north side, would have functioned as a hay-loft. The building fortunately retains many of its original features. The observation of service trenches excavated adjacent to the building identified a garden path and a probable flower border that ran between the path and garden wall. The path, whose alignment appeared to run parallel to the 18th century garden wall is likely to be of 18th or early 19th century date, and is depicted on the 1843 tithe map which shows a formal garden laid out in this location.
