Description

This is a barn located approximately 40 metres north of Bosliven Farmhouse, dating from the early 19th century, with an extension added around 1870. It is constructed from granite rubble with granite dressings and features a grouted scantle slate hipped roof. The front has cast-iron ogee gutters. The barn has a large rectangular plan, serving as a granary over shippons built in two phases. The original barn on the right includes a threshing floor with opposing loading and winnowing doorways, while the later barn has a central threshing floor. Both sections have old, though not original, stone steps leading to their rear doorways.

The exterior is two storeys high and has a nearly unaltered three-window front facing south-east. There are three original doorways on the ground floor and two loading doorways on the first floor. Four original small window openings are fitted with 19th-century shutters and glazed top lights. Inside, the barn retains its original first-floor structure, 19th-century roof structures, and old shippon fittings, including equipment for hoisting sacks. Notably, in 1849, the farmer John Eddy is said to have taken his own life in this barn.
