Barn Immediately North Of Newhouse Farmhouse

The barn immediately north of Newhouse Farmhouse is a semi bank barn built in 1844 for Thomas Phillips. It features slatestone rubble walls and a rag slate roof. The barn has a rectangular plan with central first-floor loading and winnowing doorways, along with stone steps leading up to a rear doorway. The front of the barn includes a central loading doorway with a hood and original doors, as well as a wider, slightly reduced doorway. There are small doorways on the left (which is blocked) and right, and a later doorway at the far left. The left-hand return has two slit ventilators on the ground floor. An adjoining horse-engine house, built in 1898, is located on the right. Inside, the barn retains original carpentry, including two heavy cross beams and jointed joists on the floor, pegged lapped collars on the trusses, purlins, and rafters. There are also keeping places inside the first-floor doorways, along with an old hay rack and feeders in the central ground-floor bay.
