Full Description
The former agricultural buildings at Lowfield Farm were the subject of a programme of historic building recording, conducted in June 2016, prior to their proposed conversion to residential use. Historical mapping shows that the buildings formed the northern range of a much larger (although no longer extant) complex of farm buildings, typical of those constructed as part of the mid 19th century 'High Farming' movement. The surviving buildings are constructed of red brick with clay pantile roofs, and comprise a single-storey barn or chaff house to the east, a central two-storey cart shed with granary above, and parts of what was a former stable block to the west. The buildings have been subject to much alteration, including the blocking of many of the original doors and windows, and the addition of large modern sheds to the west, which have largely replaced the former stable block. Some original features do survive within, however, including the doorway to the central granary floor, accessed from the former chaff house, and the bull-nosed brick-edged piers to the cart shed, that define the four original cart bays, accessed from the north. {1}{2}
