This small square wooden building with a slate roof is not a garage, but a grade II listed donkey wellhouse, situated at Beech Barns, towards the end of Wellhouse Road, and dating perhaps from the late C18. A donkey wheel and winch can be seen within, through the slatted panel, together with a cover over the well shaft. The well is reported to be 60m deep.
