Description
The building is a former barn, converted into a workshop in 1982. It dates from around 1720 to 1730 and features a semi-illegible tablet dated 17?? above the archway. Constructed from coursed limestone rubble with dressed quoins, it has a stone slate roof and stone gable copings, including a small finial on the gable facing the road. The barn has a high T-plan shape with steep roofs and consists of five bays.
The east front showcases a large central gabled projection with a shallow pointed stone arch over the cart entry, which leads to the former threshing floor. This archway has been infilled with 20th-century glazing. On the west wall, there is a smaller entry with a lower segmental arch and flanking buttresses. The outer bays feature vent slits with a row of square vent holes above and below, and similar vents can be found in the gables, all with dressed stone jambs. The roof structure was renewed in the 19th to 20th centuries.
Attached to the south-west corner is a low single-storey range that is not of special architectural interest. The barn was previously known as the Bridal Barn and is said to have been used for village wedding feasts or "bridge-ales."
