G.V. II
Former maltings with added hop kiln. Main part is probably early C18 with some early C19 alterations, hop kiln early to mid C19. Main part of stowage comprises 2 ranges forming a T shape. The larger range is of 4 bays timber framed in oak with the ground floor cut away and replaced with brickwork in stretcher bond in the early C19 on the elevation facing the farmhouse. The ground floor may originally have been open. First floor is clad with tiles. Roof pegtiled but tiles not present at time of survey. 3 casements with pargetted plaster aprons. Rear elevation has 1st floor plaster pargetting with a pointed pattern and border done with respectively the point and flat end of the trowel. Originally this range was of 2 storeys and attics but the floors are now missing. Staggered purlin roof chamfered with run out stops and no ridge piece. Upright posts have jowls with cut profiles. 4 openings for diamond mullioned windows, each side of which the mortise holes remain; and also some shutter grooves. The shutters would have been used to store hops in darkness. First floor frame has lath and plaster infill and some diagonal tension braces. Posts are of thin scantling and some are rough hewn. Internal partition between the third and fourth bay has some brickwork at the base, part of which is reused C16 or early C17. Circular hop kiln inserted into this range in first half of C19. Brick in English garden wall bond variant, roof originally tiled but not present at time of survey. The T range appears to have been built at the same time as the larger range. Also timber framed with base of red brick on sandstone plinth; mainly C19 but incorporating some early C17 and some C18 brickwork. Originally weatherboarded above. Internally there are four smaller bays with staggered purlin roofs and run out stops to purlins. One bay has green posts. Jowled upright posts with cut profile. Traces of smoke blackening to some roof timbers suggests use for smoking or firing.
The building is shown on an estate map of 1761.
