brick in English garden wall bond (mostly 5+1), with roof of
corrugated sheet. L-plan formed by a 3-bay range parallel to
the road, with opposed entrances to a central threshing floor,
and an integral rear wing behind the 3rd bay. The facade to
the road has full-height brick buttreses to the centre bay,
which contains a former wagon entrance with segmental-arched
wooden lintel (the opening blocked in matching brick); to the

diamond-pattern breathers and various decorated cast-iron

doorway under these. The long right-hand side wall has a
recently-inserted garage doorway in the centre, cruciform
tie-plates flanking this, fixed windows beyond these, and
diamond-pattern breathers on 3 levels. The rear of the main
range has (inter alia) a segmental-headed loading doorway in
the centre, remains of another to the left, and various
breathers and ventilators like the others. Interior: the

2-centred arched opening to the loft in the north bay, which
has a diagonal king-post roof truss, and a low rectangular
opening to the loft of the wing; this wing has a shallow roof
truss with queen struts and upper king-post. One of the few
surviving examples of its type and date in the City of
Manchester; forms group with Rowthorne House (q.v.), the
