Deacons And Barn Adjoining On North East

Deacons and the adjoining barn, located in Blisland, is a house and barn dating from around the 17th century, with the barn likely added in the 18th century. The structure is built of stone rubble, with the house rendered and featuring a scantle slate roof adorned with several early crested ridge tiles. The barn has a rag slate roof and includes a stone rubble end stack on the left, topped with a moulded granite cap.

The house has a two-room layout, with a larger hall or kitchen on the left, heated by an end stack that includes a cloam oven, and a smaller unheated room on the right. The entrance, positioned to the right of center, likely led directly into the larger room. The barn, a rectangular two-storey structure added to the right gable end, is probably a shippon with a loft above.

The exterior of the house features two storeys and an asymmetrical front with two windows, which were replaced in the 20th century. There is a larger 20th-century window on the left and a smaller casement window on the right. A 20th-century brick porch with a slate roof leads to a circa 19th-century plank door. The first floor has two 20th-century windows, while a smaller window with a chamfered granite surround is located at the rear. The barn, which is taller and also two storeys, has an entrance to the shippon on the left of center, a window on the first floor to the left, and a 20th-century glazed door to the right, accompanied by a 20th-century timber external stair. To the right, there is a lower single-storey range with a loft, topped with a corrugated iron roof.

Inside, the house features a fireplace with a chamfered lintel and jambs, along with a cloam oven. The ceiling beams have been replaced in the late 19th or 20th century.
