Description

TQ 62 40 PEMBURY CHALKET LANE

13/355 Carthouse approx 40m west
of Chalket Farmhouse

GV II

Carthouse, now used as a garage. C17, much rebuilt in the C19. Stretcher
bond red brick on footing of large coursed blocks of sandstone; peg-tile roof.

Plan: Carthouse on a rough north south axis. It is now used as a garage and
has a large doorway in the north end; a smaller doorway is blocked in the
south end.

Exterior: Long sides are 3 bays defined by brick piers, the walls between
slightly recessed. The roof is half-hipped to north and that end is
weatherboarded and contains a metal C20 pivoting garage door. The roof is
hipped to south and south end includes 2 timber uprights which look as though
they were once doorway jambs. A doorway this end would have been raised on
top of the footings to enable loading directly from carts.

Interior: 3 bays. The northern truss is C17; a tie-beam truss with clasped
side purlins and queen struts. The southern truss is similar but probably a
C19 copy.

This cartshed is an attractive building belonging to nearby Chalket Farmhouse
(q.v.).
