Description
This is a bank barn located to the north-east of Cartuther Barton, forming the south-east wing of the farmstead. It was built in 1849 for Samuel Kekewich, as indicated by the datestone marked S T K. The barn is constructed from rubblestone and features large granite lintels above the openings from 1849. It has a slate roof with hipped ends and presents a symmetrical two-storey front on the north-west side.
The front includes two double doors on both the ground and first floors, which are flanked by rubblestone piers with granite corbels. The roof extends down to create hoods over these doors. There are window openings on either side, along with two shippon doors situated near the center. A steep flight of stone steps has been added to provide access to the first floor. This floor features five openings with double shutters, including two double doors that lead to the threshing floor, with the datestone positioned above the central opening.
At the rear, the roof continues down over two entrances, which are accompanied by shallow rubblestone flanking walls and granite corbels that form shoulder arches. The entrances have double plank doors, with one opening to the right and another where the ground slopes down to the left, along with an additional opening on the ground floor.
