Description
The horse engine house and barn, located 16 meters east of Treweatha Farmhouse, is a Grade II listed structure. The barn dates from around 1800, while the horse engine house was built in the 1820s. Both buildings are constructed from rubblestone and feature a slate roof with gable ends. The engine house has a polygonal slate roof and is situated at the rear of the barn, extending beyond the northeast gable end.
The northwest front of the barn includes ten rubblestone steps leading up to central double plank doors, which are topped with a timber lintel and a slate hood. On the southeast side, there is a ground floor with a window to the left and a door to the right, both featuring reused timber lintels. The first floor has central double plank doors that also have a slate hood.
Originally, the horse engine house was open-sided, supported by rubblestone piers and featuring a polygonal roof. However, the openings are now blocked with concrete blocks, and one rubblestone pier on the southwest side has been removed. The south side has double plank doors, and the central pier has also been removed. The engine house has a king post truss roof. The building is currently used as a calves house.
