Heath Hall Farm Barn And Attached Farm Buildings

Heath Hall Farm Barn and attached farm buildings consist of two barns positioned at right angles to each other, along with outbuildings that include a dovecote. These structures date from the mid-17th century and mid-18th century, with some mid-20th century conversion work to create a dwelling. The buildings form a U-shaped block and are constructed from hammer-dressed stone, with some brick at the rear of the added 18th-century barn, which faces a walled garden. The main ranges have a 20th-century Bradstone roof, while the two lower outbuildings feature stone slate roofs.

The 17th-century barn on the left has two 18th-century additions at right angles. One of these additions includes a pair of low arched doorways with an impost band and a pedimented gable featuring a bullseye. To the right, there is a stone stair leading to a first-floor doorway at the junction with the added 18th-century range of seven bays. This range has doorways with monolithic jambs alternating with square windows, and square windows above with plain-stone surrounds, filled with wooden latticed ventilators.

At right angles to this barn, forming the third side of the courtyard, is a building that features a stone stair to a first-floor doorway and two additional doorways to the right, one of which leads into the dovecote. This building has a coped gable with kneelers. The rear of the main barn also has similar tall cart-entries and ventilators. The left end of the barn has been converted into a house, featuring four bays of sash windows with lintels and sills, along with two windows above. The left-hand return of this range includes five bays with inserted ground-floor doorways and windows, while original square windows remain on the first floor. The right side has a hipped roof and two ridge stacks.

Inside the 17th-century barn, there are principal rafter roof trusses supported by large curved angle braces. The added 18th-century range features a fish-bone king-post roof with a large wooden wheel hoist. The large barn at right angles to this range has fine fish-bone king-post trusses with an extra king-post on either side and angle struts.
