Description

The building is an outbuilding located 20 metres south-west of Knarsdale Hall Farmhouse, dating from the 17th century. It was originally used as offices and lodgings for the Hall and is now an agricultural store. Constructed from rubble with stone dressings and a stone slate roof, it is built on a steep slope, appearing as two storeys on the west side and a single storey on the east.

The west front features a section on the left that was once a cottage, which includes a chamfered doorway and two 2-light chamfered mullioned windows above. To the right, there are two ground-floor offices, each with a 2-light chamfered mullioned window and a door; the right doorway has a chamfered surround, while the left has a moulded surround with a moulded dripstone. The first floor has slit vents and there are two later buttresses. A stone gable stack is present.

At the rear left, the barn has a cart entrance with tooled and margined jambs and a 20th-century timber lintel, flanked by slit vents. Inside the barn, the original principal-rafter roof truss features a notched collar and two altered trusses, with two levels of purlins but no ridge piece.
