Barn And Stable Adjoining Kirkleatham Hall Farm

The barn and adjoining stable at Kirkleatham Hall Farm date from the mid to late 18th century. Constructed of brick, the stable features a roof made of Lakeland slate and corrugated sheeting, while the barn has clay pantiles on its west slope and Gaelic tiles on the other slopes, topped with stone ridge copings. These structures are located on the north and west sides of the courtyard of Kirkleatham Hall Farm, with the barn forming the north-west corner.

The east face of the barn has an altered cart opening with a late 20th-century porch to the right of a doorway that has an altered door. On the south face, there are mid-20th-century boarded sliding double doors to the right of the remains of a sash window. The eaves are marked by three courses of stepped brick, and the roof is hipped at an angle. The lower two-storey stable has four boarded doors, five ground-floor windows that retain remains of sashes, and two first-floor windows with altered glazing. There are also two boarded loft doors at the left end, one of which is accessed by an external brick and stone stair. Slit breathers are present in the south and east gables and the west face of the barn.

The east gable and north face of the barn feature early to mid-19th-century casement windows with paired pointed lights on the ground floor, along with a sash window and two altered doorways at the west end. The west face has blocked square openings. Inside the barn, there are renewed king-post roof trusses and an original queen-strut truss at the angle. The stable is included for its group value but is disused and dilapidated at the time of resurvey. A single-storey stable north of the barn is not of special interest. This barn and stable were formerly part of the stable block associated with Kirkleatham Hall, which was demolished in 1955.
