Description

Aughton Barns is a house, probably from the 18th century, that has been considerably altered. It is built of sandstone rubble and has a slate roof. The building is two storeys high and consists of two bays with a central entrance. To the left of the door, there is a fixed window featuring glazing bars and plain reveals. To the right, there is a two-light window with a roughly chamfered head and jambs, along with a crude stone mullion. On the first floor, to the left, is another fixed window with glazing bars and plain reveals, while to the right is a two-light window with a stone mullion and plain reveals. The door itself has plain reveals.

The left-hand gable has a low recess with plain reveals, which is said to be a bee bole, and there is a similar recess at the right-hand end of the rear wall. The rear wall has three sashed windows, with a fixed window on the left that has plain reveals and glazing bars. There are chimneys located on the left-hand gable and to the right of the front door. Inside, there is a shouldered and moulded stone fireplace typical of the 18th century in the right-hand room, and a stone stair rises from the left-hand room.
