Full Description
The complex of farm buildings at Austendike Hall were the subject of detailed building recording, conducted in January 2015, prior to their proposed conversion to housing. This structure was thought to date to the late 18th century and comprised a traditional threshing barn at the eastern side, and a stable room with probable hayloft on the western side. The building was constructed of red brick, mostly laid in English bond, and featured a gabled pantile roof with dentillated eaves. The exterior of the ground floor had been rendered with concrete, and several of the oringial doors and openings had been replaced or blocked. An internal brick wall separated the larger eastern side of the building, which was open to the roof and featured large opposing doors, typical of traditional threshing barns. The floor of this room had been replaced at some point in the recent past with concrete. Markings on the walls and floors of the smaller western room showed where stalls for the horses were located and where hayracks were mounted. This room featured a cobbled floor with a stone drainage channel running east to west behind the stalls. Stairs in the eastern threshing room provided access to the first floor part of this structure, which had been converted into an entertainment room and bar. Although most of the original detailing was screened by the conversion, blocked pitching holes on the outside of the structure indicate its past use as a hayloft. {1}{2}
