yard built in red brick, with some Sussex bond and some Flemish bond with grey
headers. Tiled roof. Central block comprised barn with granary above. Tall 3
bay structure with blank arches with stone impost blocks divided by double
pilasters with similar plain stone cornice. Tiled roof, 3 round-headed doorcases
and hoist to left-hand side. Ends have circular blank and 2 Diocletian windows.
To the right is the former ox engine house, of lower elevation of 2 bays, with
cambered aches with impost blocks. Leading on from this is the right-hand wing of
similar height with 7 doors, 5 with cambered arches and 5 semicircular openings.
This wing originally comprized rooms for fodder, lodges for 10 fatting oxen,

waggon lodge. Similar arrangement to left of barn/granary with adjoining 2 bay

lodges for 10 cows, calf pen and terminated in a slaughterhouse with adjoining
steaming house and cistern for hogmash, to the rear of this wing was a series of
pigsties and kennels for Spaniels and Pointers. The interior throughout has
scientific king posts which is an early use of this form in farm buildings. The
barn/granary has some reused domestic timbers. Good C19 cast iron and wood stall
partitions. (See Rev A Young "Review of the Agriculture of Sussex 1813" M Hole
