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 second half of the 19th century, when the farm complex was enlarged as part of the 'High Farming' movement. The building was single-storey and comprised a large cattle shelter with a small former storeroom at the southern end. The cattle shelter part was originally open to the west, which would have allowed access from a central courtyard. This area was partially enclosed by a modern shed, although the original courtyard area can still be traced in the walling attached to the west and north of the structure. The building was constructed of red brick, mostly laid in Garden Wall bond, and featured a gabled pantile roof with raised parapets at each end. The southern end of the eastern wall is laid in English bond, and may represent a fragment from an earlier structure on the site, that was incorporated into the current building. Some modifications were made to the structure in the 20th century, including the addition of an internal wall in the cattle shelter part, and the blocking of the oringial western openings. {1}{2}
