Barn And Attached Wheel House To West Of Birk Hall Farmhouse

This is a late 18th century barn with an early 19th century wheel-house located to the west of Birk Hall Farmhouse. The structure is built from coursed rubble with cut quoins and dressings. The barn features a stone slate roof, while the wheel-house has a pantile roof with stone slates at the eaves.

The barn includes a stable door on the south side and two tiers of slit vents, with coped gables. There are also slit vents in the end walls and a boarded pitching door in the west gable. The rounded wheel-house on the north side has a boarded opening on the east and projecting rectangular piers on either side, topped with a hip-ended roof.

Inside the wheel-house, there is a stable door leading into the barn and a king-post roof truss situated between the piers.
