Barn and granary. Barn is probably C17 with substantial C18 extensions and C19 alterations. Sandstone rubble plinth, timber-frame with some brick and woven infill but mainly weatherboarded, pantiled roof; L-plan with one older three-bay arm extending northwards and the other, probably of four bays, extending westwards towards the granary. South elevation has stable door to left of centre and two-leaved doors to right of centre; west elevation of north arm has one panel of riven oak infill to left of full-height ledged doors to threshing floor in the southernmost bay. Interior has massive tie-beams to north/south range with a double tie-beam at the southern end to provide a bearing for the roofing of the later east/ west range. Two close-set threshing floors set at right angles appear thus to have been created.

Interior has pegged king-post trusses. Included for group value.
