Barn And Horse Engine House At Approximately 100 Metres West Of Kennal Farmhouse

This building is a barn and horse-engine house, dating from around the mid-19th century, located approximately 100 metres west of Kennal Farmhouse. It is constructed from granite rubble with granite dressings and features grouted scantle slate hipped roofs and cast-iron ogee gutters. The barn has an L-shaped plan, with a short arm projecting at right angles in front of the right-hand side and a canted horse-engine house extending behind the middle of the long arm. The right-hand part of the barn is built into a bank.

The longer part of the barn includes two pairs of opposing loading and winnowing doorways, with a flight of stone steps behind the right-hand doorways and another flight behind the far right-hand side leading to an additional loading doorway. The ground floor contains waggon sheds beneath the threshing floors, as well as stables or loose boxes, and possibly originally a shippon in the right-hand section. The first floor serves as a granary and fodder store. The horse-engine house features opposing doorways on the sides and slit windows in the canted end.

The exterior consists of two storeys with unaltered elevations, retaining original door and window openings. Many openings have their original ledged doors, and there are barred windows with internal shutters. The symmetrical east front has four windows and five doorways on the ground floor, including a wide waggon doorway with loading doorways above, located towards the left and right. The left-hand waggon doorway is partly blocked. The interior has not been fully inspected, except for the horse-engine house, which lacks machinery but retains the original roof structure and beams that once supported the machinery.
