Southern Farm Building At Scale Farm

The Southern farm building at Scale Farm is a Grade II listed farm store and barn, originally a house and barn, dating from the mid-18th century. It is constructed of sandstone rubble and features a stone slate roof, standing two storeys tall.

The north wall of the former house has two doors with plain reveals. Next to the right-hand door is a flush chamfered mullioned window, while to the left of the left-hand door is a one-light chamfered stair window. On the first floor, there is a window with a rebated and chamfered surround, and to its right is another window with a plain stone surround. The adjoining barn on the right has a wide entrance with plain reveals and a stone lintel, along with a shippon door to the left with plain reveals. There is also a lean-to addition against the front wall, with another shippon door located to the right of it. The building features chimneys on each side of the former house.

On the south wall of the house, there is a window with a plain stone surround and flat-faced mullions, consisting of five lights, one of which is now blocked. To the right is another window with a plain stone surround, and on the first floor, there is a similar window. The barn on the left has two small widely spaced windows with plain reveals, and there is a pitching hole on the upper floor. The masonry between the barn and the former house is continuous on the ground floor. Under the eaves, there is a straight joint with quoins on the house, indicating that the barn walls were likely raised in the early 19th century.

Inside, the western room of the former house features a shouldered stone fireplace with a moulded mantel. In front of it, between the boxed axial beams and extending upwards through the first floor, is a beef loft, a small compartment recessed into the ceiling for drying beef and hams. The roof has one truss with a tie beam and collar, and a purlin that has been re-used from a cruck building.
