Barn and Attached Wall at Spring Lodge

The building is a barn dating from around 1800, located at Spring Lodge in Barnard Castle. It features rubble stone walls with large dressed quoins and a graduated stone slate roof. The barn is rectangular in shape and has an original doorway in the east gable end, which is framed by large pecked stone jambs and a lintel. To the right of the door, there is a window with a wooden frame and external horizontal iron bars, likely a later addition. There is also a boarded-up window opening on the south face, which has a concrete lintel and stone cill, indicating it is a later insertion. A small modern roof light is present in the south-facing roof.

Attached to the eastern end of the south face is a wall made of uncoursed stone with stone coping, which forms one side of a gateway at its southern end. A lower wall of similar construction runs in front of the south face, featuring a central entrance gap. This wall curves back towards the south-west corner of the barn, with the final section being taller and forming the side of an entrance gap on the west side of the barn. The barn's alignment is slightly offset from the surrounding listed wall, which suggests that the barn predates this wall. The listed wall is dated to around 1820, indicating that the barn may be slightly older.
