Description
The building is a former threshing barn and gin-gang located 30 metres west of West Brandon Old Farmhouse, dating from the early to mid-19th century. The barn is constructed of coursed rubble and features dressed quoins, topped with a pantiled roof that has stone-flagged eaves. It is a large, two-storey structure facing a stockyard, with three Dutch doors and breathers on the ground floor, and two boarded openings along with breathers above. The rear of the barn has several altered openings, a central external stone stair, and an attached gin-gang on the left. The gin-gang is large and semi-octagonal, supported by rectangular-plan rubble piers and has a low-pitched roof covered with pantiles. There is a 20th-century single-storey addition at the front of the barn, and a late 20th-century barn to the left, which are not of special interest.
