WARKWORTH SOUTHSIDE NU 20 NW

10/337 Farmbuilding group to north of Southside Farmhouse

GV II

Planned farmbuildings. West range probably C18, altered c.184O when engine house added. North range C18 altered early C19. West range roughly-coursed stone with tooled-and-margined quoins, dressings and chimney stack; north range rubble with roughly-shaped quoins and cut dressings. Welsh slate roofs. Overall L-plan.

West range in 3 sections. Single-storey left part has through-passage at left end, 4 boarded doors and one window. Taller centre has boarded double doors under segmental arch and boarded door, with 3 slit vents above. 2- storey barn at right end, partly behind north range, has boarded and stable doors and 2 loft windows with slightly-projecting sills. Most openings have chamfered alternating-block surrounds. Coped gables. North end of barn shows boarded pitching door in tooled-and-margined chamfered surround, with 2 older chamfered openings (one blocked) beneath. Rear elevation shows engine house projecting from barn, with truncated stack on right return.

North range 2 storeys, 10 irregular bays. Three pairs of segmental arches, those near left end, with chamfered surrounds, are early C19 insertions; 2 boarded doors; external stone stair to boarded loft door; slatted loft windows set directly beneath eaves. Coped left gable. Boarded loft door and similar loft windows at rear.

Interior: Engine house has engine sump pit and millstone on timber platform.

Pent cart shed at rear of north range, and C20 shed north of engine house, are not of special interest.
