Description
Farmbuildings to the south-west of Wool House date from around 1840. They are constructed of painted coursed rubble stone with ashlar dressings and feature stone slate roofs. The buildings are arranged in an extended U-plan, with a wall and an off-centre gateway on the south side. The north and east ranges are single storey and include stables, with various plank doors and shuttered windows. The west range extends north and contains a two-storey barn. The north-east front of this barn has a plank doorway flanked by single windows, with four loft windows and a single loft door above. To the north, there is a single-storey wing with a single window. To the south, a lower two-storey range features a single plank door and a single window, followed by a single-storey lean-to with a plank door. Adjacent to the west of this range is another single-storey wing with various openings. This complex is a very good example of a large 19th-century farmyard.
