Description
Detached four-bay three-storey grain store or warehouse with half-attic, extant 1838, on a rectangular plan with four-bay full-height rear (south-east) elevation. Now disused. Pitched slate roof on collared timber construction with clay ridge tiles, and no rainwater goods surviving on cut-limestone eaves. Coursed rubble limestone walls with hammered limestone flush quoins to corners. Segmental-headed carriageway with tooled limestone ashlar voussoirs framing corrugated-iron double doors. Square-headed window openings (upper floors) with no sills, and hammered limestone voussoirs with no fittings surviving. Interior in ruins with remains of timber boarded floors on timber joists on timber beams. Set in unkempt grounds shared with Shrule House.
Appraisal
A dilapidated grain store or warehouse not only contributing positively to the group and setting values of the Shrule House ensemble, but also surviving as an interesting relic of 'an extensive brewery carried on [by Richard Golding (d. 1864)]' (Lewis 1837 II, 555).
