Description

The farm buildings located 15 metres north of Nook Farmhouse date from the early to mid-19th century and are currently used for storage. They are constructed from coursed sandstone rubble and feature a stone-flagged roof.

This long, two-storey structure has roughly-shaped alternating quoins and some throughstones. The central segmental archway contains a pair of boarded doors with flush voussoirs. To the right of the archway, there is a boarded door in a flush surround, flanked by 20th-century casement windows. To the left, there is another boarded door in a similar surround. A boarded opening is located on the first floor to the left of the archway. The roof has coped gables and several breathers.

A lean-to range at the left end of the building is not of special interest. The farm buildings are included for their group value.
