Possible former granary, now in use as flats and a store, built in circa late 18th century with alterations in the late 19th century and later. Before its current use it was used as an agricultural machinery show and sale room, and before that it was used as halls. It is a two-storey, seven-bay building that was possibly built as a granary, and is constructed from grey granite rubble with red sandstone dressings and quoins. The pitched slate roof has unobtrusive circa late 19th century skylights in the slope of the roof over eaves to the north, and there are ashlar skews. There are regular openings of a late 18th century date, with chamfered arrises. Some have been altered and several blocked with rubble or brick infill. The Richmond Lane elevation has larger rectangular 12-pane sash and case windows at the ground, and square openings close up to the eaves at the first floor, some 9-pane sash and case and some blocked. There is an arched entrance to one side and there is a large garage door through both floors adjacent to the centre bay, which has a blocked first floor hoist door. There are regular openings to the rubble-built rear elevation, and a circa late 19th century lean-to porch masking the centre ground floor bays. The gables are single-bay, with a blocked arch doorway to Granary Street. The interior was gutted in circa 1950, at which time the first floor and partitions were removed. A lathe and plaster platformed ceiling of a circa late 19th century date was seen in 1992.
