Full Description

The following text is from the original listed building designation:
HILDENBOROUGH LOWER STREET (south side) TQ 54 NW 4/147 Cartshed about 75m north - west of Lower Street Farmhouse GV II
Cartshed. Probably late C18, re-erected following collapse during the 1987 October storm. Framed construction, clad in weatherboarding; peg-tile roof.
Plan: South facing and sited north west of a pond which is said to have been used for cleaning carts. Small, rectangular, open-fronted 4-bay plan.
Exeterior: Single-storey with provision for a loft if required. Symmetrical south front, the roof half-hipped at ends. Jowled posts on padstones form the bays, with straight braces to the wall plate from the posts. On the left return a loft door with strap hinges.
Interior. Tie-beam trusses with queen posts and clasped purlins, no ridge piece. Each truss has short, curved, arched braces. Some timbers have been renewed in the course of re-erection. The wall framing is of slender scantling. There is no loft floor but the tie-beams could be used to store implements and temporary joists could be provided for hay storage when required.
An attractive small vernacular farmbuilding of the region. Group value with Lower Street Farmhouse and other listed farmbuildings on the farmstead.
