Description
Barnards Cottage Farmhouse and the adjoining barn are three houses built in the early 19th century. They are constructed from hammer-dressed watershot stone and feature a graduated stone slate roof, although part of it has been replaced with 20th-century tiles. The cottages are arranged as double-depth structures, each with one bay and two storeys, and the barn is attached to the right. The corners of the buildings have quoins. Each cottage has a door on the right with a square-cut surround, along with ground floor windows that are either two, three, or four-light flat-faced mullions, and first floor windows that are three, four, or five-light. There are ridge chimney stacks, and the left return and rear have two and three-light windows. A small lean-to addition is located at the rear, and dry stone garden walls are present at the front. The barn features opposed cart entries, and the shippon door surround is chamfered, with several small vents that have arched heads, which appear to have been reused from an earlier building.
