Description

This building is a bank barn with an attached shippon and horse engine house, located immediately to the south of Lawhippet Farmhouse. It dates from the early 19th century, with the horse engine house added a little later in the same century. The structure is made of stone rubble and features slate roofs, with gabled ends on the barn and a scantle slate roof on the horse engine house.

The north front of the barn has two shippon doors on the ground floor and a central door leading to the barn loft above. The rear, or south side, is built into a bank and has a loft that is accessed at ground level through a wide doorway to the right of centre, which has a plank door and a slated canopy. To the left of the rear, there is the horse engine house, which has a semi-polygonal open end supported by three stone rubble piers and side walls that hold up a polygonal roof. There are also outbuildings at the east end of the barn, constructed of stone rubble and concrete blocks with a slate roof. The horse engine machinery has been removed. This building is included for its group value with Lawhippet Farmhouse.
