Description
The barn attached to Cold Arbour Farmhouse is a Grade II listed building, originally a corn barn, now serving as a shippon and garage. It dates from the 16th century, with 17th-century outshuts and alterations from the 19th and 20th centuries. The structure is built of coursed, squared buff sandstone rubble, topped with a Kerridge stone-slate roof and a stone ridge. It originally had a rectangular four-bay plan, with outshuts added to both the rear and partly to the front. The cart opening features a massive oak lintel with a projecting rubble drip course above it. To the left of this opening, there are three 19th-century, six-pane windows below and two square pitch holes above. The gable end displays four lines of ventilation slots and a blocked light with a wooden lintel. Inside, much of the original roof remains intact, supported by trusses of a tie-beam with short diagonal struts above, along with through purlins and a ridge. The outshut contains three original trusses.
