Full Description
Former agricultural buildings. F-shaped plan complex comrpised of six individual buildings. The northeast range consists of a single building, later used as a workshop and then converted to residential use in 2004. This two storey building is constructed of red brick in Monk Bond on a low coursed rubble stone plinth, under a pitched hipped tile roof. The tops of arched brick foundations can be seen above ground level. A pair of wide doorways with segmental arches and edged with bullnose bricks provide evidence for the building's original use as a milking parlour. A later area of infill sits between the milking parlour and a threshing barn to the southwest. This open-sided two bay animal shelter, likely for cattle, is a single storey red brick structure in Monk bond, under a pitched tile roof. To the southwest of the infill is a large two storey threshing barn. Along with the milking parlour this appears to have formed the earliest phase of building on the site, likely contemporary with the farmhouse (c.1830, see MLI126971). It is constructed of red brick in English Bond, under a pitched tile roof. It has the typical large double doors on each long elevation, providing access for loaded carts prior to threshing. Two smaller doors at each end of the southeast elevation suggest a change in use, possibly to provide stabling for horses. To the northwest of the barn is a raised railway platform, constructed in about 1910 as part of Deeping St Nicholas' potato railway system. This appears to have been out of use as early as 1930. Further southwest are two animal shelters, one of which forms the southeast range of the complex. The northeastern shelter opens to the northwest, and had been converted in the late 20th century to a car workshop. Both are single storey open-sided red brick buildings of six and three bays respectively, under pitched tile roofs. A crewyard wall, partially rebuilt in modern brick, forms a partially enclosed crewyard with these two buildings. The building forming the southwestern end of the complex is a modern construction from 2003, on the footprint of an older building of unknown use. {1}
