    Outbuilding, 'Western Vale' - Physical Description 1

    Western Vale is a farm complex on the outskirts of Axedale and the locality of Brownes Lane contains several farms with buildings constructed of stone. Western Vale at 358 Brownes Lane is a farm complex containing a stone outbuilding set amongst more contemporary structures as part of a farm complex. It is built from random rubble bluestone with the unshaped stones in an unsophisticated manner. The building has a timber loft floor over joists. There is a stone chimney and small windows indicating that this may have been an early residence associated with the farm at Western Vale. The stone walls have been painted internally, and there is a wall that appears to be composed of vertical logs or bark. Although surrounded by verandah structures of later construction, this building is of interest for the vertical timber wall and the loft structure which is rare in such a small building. Other surrounding buildings on this site are not of interest.
