GV II

Barn, now garage and store. Probably late C17 or early C18; altered. Coursed thin sandstone rubble and coursed squared sandstone, stone slate roof. L-plan formed by a 3-bay main range on a north-south axis with an outshut to the east side of north bay, and an added bay at the south end. On the east side the wall of the main range is mostly of thin rubble but the upper part is of coursed squared masonry, and the south bay is entirely of this material. The original centre bay has opposed waggon doorways; the re-entrant of the outshut has inserted garage doorway, the 1st bay has a square-headed doorway at ground floor and loading door above, and the south gable of the added bay has a square-headed doorway near the front corner and circular pitching hole above. The west side (to the road), which is all of coursed squared masonry, has 2 slit breathers each side of the waggon doorway.
