Lower Moulson Place And Attached Barn

Lower Moulson Place is a house from the late 18th century, attached to a barn that dates back to the 16th century. The building is constructed from hammer-dressed stone and square rubble, topped with a stone slate roof. The house has two storeys and features two 4-light flat-faced mullioned windows, with a similar window above a doorway that has monolithic jambs; the original mullion above the door has been removed. Stone gutter brackets are present, and there are two stacks at the ridge of the roof. The barn, which overlaps the left side of the house, has a 5-bay double-aisled design and large rough-dressed quoins. It includes a central square-headed entry with composite jambs. Inside, the barn showcases post and truss construction, with all posts braced to the arcade plate and tie-beam on stylobats that have raising holes. The timbering is generally good, except for the parallel rafters that cross at the apex, which may have replaced an earlier collar-rafter roof.
