A historic building survey was undertaken on outbuildings at Hardwick Grange, Swinestead, prior to their alteration/demolition as required as part of conversion to general use. The surveyed buildings comprised a pair of former agricultural outbuildings at right angles to each other around an open courtyard to the southeast. The larger of the two buildings is northwest-southeast aligned, built in English Garden Wall Bond, under a pitched gabled pantile roof. It has two central stables, with mangers and evidence of former hayracks in one wall. Both open to the southwest, into the courtyard. To the northwest of the stables is a tack room, with an infilled opening to the southwest and a modern opening to the northeast. Southeast of the stables is an open cartshed, which also once opened onto the courtyard but now opens to the northeast. The roof above both the cart shed and tack room has collapsed, and the building is generally in a state of ruin. The smaller building to the south of the first is aligned northeast-southwest and is also built in English Garden Wall Bond, under a pitched gabled roof of corrugated asbestos. It formerly had a doorway in the southeast elevation, opening into the courtyard, but as with the other building this has been infilled. Another opening in the northwest elevation appears original, but the door is a modern metal replacement. Adapted in modern times as a store and rest room, this building's original use is uncertain, though four evenly spaced recesses above the sink in the southwest wall hint towards the existence of a hay rack or harness pegs. {1}{2}
