Description
This is a barn, now used as a store or garage, located on the west side of the farmyard to the southwest of Meols Hall. It was likely built in the late 17th century and has been altered over time. The structure is made of hand-made red brick arranged in an irregular English garden wall bond, with a sandstone plinth and a roof covered in stone slates, with some Welsh slate.
The barn has a rectangular plan oriented north-south and is two storeys tall with seven bays. The north end is partitioned and has a loft, with a continuous outshut extending along the east front. The facade features four windows divided by a wagon entrance that is slightly off-set to the left. There is a two-course plinth made of large dressed stone blocks and a brick corbel table above the ground floor.
The wagon entrance includes an integral porch with a roof that is slightly raised above the main structure, supported by a timber lintel and reused timber purlins. Each side of the barn has a central doorway flanked by a pair of square six-pane windows at ground level, along with various blocked slit-breathers. Under the eaves, there are four oblong six-pane windows.
On the north gable wall, there is a flight of stone steps leading to a loft in the outshut. This wall features a loft doorway that interrupts a band similar to that at the front, a ground floor doorway flanked by three-light brick-mullioned windows, a five-light brick-mullioned window above, and a blocked or blind three-light window with similar mullions in the gable. All these windows have chamfered mullions and wooden lintels beneath saw-tooth bands.
The west front has slit-breathers on three levels, an altered wagon doorway, and three windows in the northern portion. Inside, there are five king post trusses, all with reused principals. This barn forms a group with the gate piers and wall of the courtyard, the barn on the east side, the cart shed on the south side, and Meols Hall to the east.
