Description
This is a former threshing barn, dating to the 18th century with alterations in the 19th, 20th, and 21st centuries. It is constructed of coursed local red sandstone with brick dressings, and has a plain clay tile roof. The barn has a three-bay plan.
The north and south elevations have a symmetrical appearance, featuring a central, full-height doorway beneath a depressed brick arch, flanked by four diamond-shaped brick air vents. The west bay of the south elevation differs, with three misaligned ventilation grilles and a 19th-century brick doorway with a segmental head. The arrangement of diamond-shaped air vents is repeated on the west and east elevations, with additional vents on each gable. A stone owl hole is at the apex of each gable. A brick doorway with a segmental head has been inserted at the east end. A band of nesting boxes runs along the eaves of all four elevations.
Inside, the central bay is flanked by full-height brick walls, with full-height openings to the centre. The west bay opening has a moulded brick arch. The roof is a more recent structure, dating to the late 20th or early 21st century, and includes a double row of purlins and common rafters.
