Barn and Attached Horse Engine House North East of Scarne Farmhouse

This is a barn and attached horse-engine house located northeast of Scarne Farmhouse, dating from the mid-19th century. The structure is built from slatestone rubble with timber lintels and features hipped rag slate roofs, although some areas have corrugated iron. The building has an L-shaped plan, consisting of a long single-storey barn with wide opposing threshing doorways, and a rectangular horse-engine house positioned at right angles behind the right side. There is also a late 19th-century building on both the right and left sides. The barn and the two-storey horse-engine house share the same eaves line.

The barn has a one-window range front, a large threshing doorway with a lean-to porch on the right, ground and first-floor doorways, and two small windows on the left extension, along with pigeon holes under the eaves. The horse-engine house features four ground-floor doorways and three first-floor loading doorways, one on each exposed side. The rear granary doorway is accessed by a detached flight of rubble steps with an iron handrail, connected only by a slate bridge. Inside, where inspected, the building retains its original first-floor and roof structures, including heavy beams in the horse-engine house.
