Barn And Former Cow Houses And Cart Shed Approximately 10 Metres To South Of Butlers House

The barn, former cow houses, and cart shed located approximately 10 metres south of Butlers House date from the late 17th century or early 18th century. Originally part of Butlers Farm, these structures are now used as stables and garages. They are timber framed with red brick nogging and are weatherboarded on an uncoursed grey sandstone rubble plinth, topped with plain tile roofs. The buildings are arranged in an L-plan, with the barn consisting of four framed bays and a range of former cow houses adjoining at right angles. The cow houses are one storey with a loft.

The framing features square panels, with three panels extending from the sole-plate to the wall-plate in the cow houses, and long straight tension braces. The barn has a pair of large boarded doors facing the threshing floor and a boarded loft door in the gable end to the east. The cow houses include three boarded doors, two of which are on the right and feature two leaves with a small casement window in between.

To the left, there is a 19th-century sandstone rubble lean-to addition that has a two-light window at the front and a boarded door on the right-hand return front. The former cart shed to the right includes a boarded loft door on the left and a three-bay open front with 20th-century boarded doors and windows set back behind. There is also a flight of external steps at the right-hand gable end leading up to a segmental-headed loft door, with a two-light segmental-headed casement window to the left.

Inside the barn, there are collar and tie-beam trusses with queen struts and V-struts, along with pairs of purlins and an inserted loft floor at the east end. Butlers House itself is not included in this listing.
