Blackwood House And Attached Barn

Blackwood House and the attached barn are a farmhouse and barn complex dating from the 17th century, with alterations made in 1850 and later. The buildings are constructed from coursed and squared rubble, topped with tiled roofs, and feature brick end stacks on the house. The layout is L-shaped, with the farm range to the west and the house to the east, connected by a carriage arch.

The house is two stories tall and has a two-window garden front. The first floor features three-light chamfered mullions, which are also repeated on the left side of the ground floor. The right-hand window has five lights with a king mullion arranged in a 2:3 light configuration. There is a 20th-century casement window on the extreme right and a door on the extreme left. The ground floor is partially obscured by a 20th-century lean-to.

The barn, also from the 17th century with 1850 alterations, has raised eaves but maintains a similar ridge height to the house. It has a short return attached to the left of the house, featuring giant vermiculated voussoirs above a flat-arched carriage entry. The long range of the barn runs north to south and consists of two levels with evenly spaced loft doors above three stables, each equipped with top-hung casements and boarded doors, one of which is now blocked. Both floors have butterfly-shaped vents. A date-stone on the rear of the barn features low-relief carving inscribed with "+ H.C. A.D. MDCCCL +".
