Description
The barns adjoining the east side of Birchinley Manor Farmhouse are listed as a group and date from the late 17th century to the early 18th century, with one barn specifically dated 1832. They are constructed from hammer-dressed stone and feature roofs made of graduated stone slate and corrugated asbestos.
The earlier barn is notably long and has quoins, with two opposing elliptical-headed cart entries that have chamfered surrounds adorned with crude carved heads at the springing stones. It also includes two chamfered door openings, one featuring a Tudor-arched lintel, a three-light chamfered mullion window, and a loft hatch. The gables are coped and have kneelers, while the roof structure was updated in the 20th century.
The later barn is wider and shorter, also featuring quoins. It has three door openings separated by heavily dressed vents and loft hatches at each end, one of which is blocked. The north end of this barn reuses an earlier door surround and has a date plaque incorporated into its design.
