Description

The farmbuilding group located to the north of Barforth Hall dates from the late 18th century, with an early 19th-century wheel-house. The buildings are constructed of rubble with cut quoins and feature tooled-and-margined dressings. Most roofs are made of stone slate, except for the wheel-house, which has Welsh slates, the adjacent cartshed covered with 20th-century metal sheets, and the east range outshut that has pantiles. The buildings are arranged around a yard that is open to the south, with the wheel-house positioned at the rear of the north range.

The north range has two storeys and four bays, featuring boarded double doors set in a tall segmental arch. To the right, there is a window with a keyed lintel and two part-slatted windows above. The east range also has two storeys and three bays, with two stable doors featuring keyed lintels and windows above (the upper ones being slatted) with tooled-and-margined lintels. On the far left, there is a stone stair leading to a boarded upper door, and the right return displays a boarded pitching door. The west range is divided into two parts: the left section is two-storey with a boarded pitching door, while the right section is a single-storey, four-bay shelter shed with tooled-and-margined piers, timber lintels, and later infill.

Externally, the hexagonal wheel-house to the north has a boarded door and three blocked windows, with an attached cartshed to the left. The outshut at the rear of the east range features three stable doors and two small windows.

Inside, the east range includes a reset 16th-century ceiling, which consists of seven deeply-moulded transverse beams with 14 roll-moulded joists in each bay. This ceiling may have originated from the west range of Barforth Hall, which was demolished in the early 19th century.
