Reasons for Designation

This former granary and attached wall and gatepier are recommended for listing at Grade II for the following principal reasons:

* It is an early-C19 former granary built of good quality local materials; * It is an unusually large example and substantially intact; * Its original function is demonstrated by the external stone staircases with adjoining cart unloading areas; * It has the additional local interest of two Dering windows, inserted into Dering estate buildings in the C19; * It forms part of a good farm group on a historic site on which a number of buildings, including the farmhouse, are listed already and the contemporary attached wall and gatepier forms part of an enclosed farmyard.

1155/1/10036 EGERTON ROAD 10-APR-08 Former granary, attached wall and gate pier to SE of ragstone barn, Pevington Farm

GV II Former granary, probably originally with cart store to ground floor, later used as a studio. Early-C19 with some C20 refurbishment.

MATERIALS: Kentish ragstone with red brick dressings but weatherboarding to upper floor of western side. Hipped tiled roof with cast iron weathervane at south end.

PLAN: Roughly T-shaped of two storeys except for north-east spur which is of one storey. External stone staircases to north-east and south-west. Attached farmyard wall to south-west with gatepier.

EXTERIOR: The north T-range projects on the west side and has a two-light round-headed brick casement window on each floor with dripmoulding to the lower window. The remainder of the west side is set back with three casement windows to the weatherboarded first floor. The ground floor has been cement rendered and has some C20 casement windows and doors. The north end has no windows and the north part of the east side has a projecting single-storey section. The remainder of the east side is of two storeys with two openings with brick dressings to the north end, at first floor level, approached up a flight of stone steps.

Attached at the south-west end of the granary is a wall of Kentish ragstone with stone coping and, at its western end, a square brick gate pier in Flemish bond with a protruding course near the top and pyramidal stone cap, forming the eastern gate pier to an enclosed farmyard.

INTERIOR: Not inspected but reported to contain an oak roof with staggered purlins.

HISTORY: Pevington Farm was an ancient manor, granted to Bishop Odo of Bayeux after the Norman Conquest and appears in the Domesday Book. Since 1612 it was part of the Dering estate and both the farmhouse and some of the farm buildings, including this one, have the distinctive round-headed brick windows introduced into Dering estate buildings in the C19 by the Eighth Baronet, Sir Edward Cholmeley Dering (1807-1896). This former granary, together with most farm buildings at Pevington Farm, are shown on the 1871 Ordnance survey map.

SOURCES: Pevsner and Newman, Buildings of England - "West Kent and the Weald" p 465-6 (for "Dering" windows) (1980).

REASONS FOR DESIGNATION: * An early-C19 granary, possibly originally with open fronted cart store on the ground floor, built of good quality local materials; * It is an unusually large example of a granary and substantially intact; * Its function is demonstrated externally by the external stone staircases with adjoining areas for unloading into the upper storey from a cart; * It has additional local interest because of the two "Dering" windows, inserted into Dering estate buildings in the C19; * It forms part of a good farm complex on a historic site on which a number of buildings, including the farmhouse, are listed and the contemporary attached wall and gate pier forms part of an enclosed farmyard.
