Description
The barn to the west of Greenswell Farmhouse is a building that dates from the early to mid 19th century. It was originally used as a shippon, threshing floor, hayloft, and granary, but is now largely disused. The structure is made of rubblestone and features a cement-washed scantle slate roof with gable ends.
The east front is almost symmetrical and has two storeys. The ground floor includes four round arched openings, some of which are partly blocked. The opening on the left is concealed by a 20th-century rendered extension with a galvanised roof. Above the central double plank doors leading to the threshing floor is a slate hood. To the right, there are two slit openings, and to the left, there is a slit with a square opening replacing the second slit.
There is a single-storey rubblestone extension with a slate roof on the left-hand gable end, and a two-storey rubblestone extension with a slate roof and half-hipped end on the right-hand gable end. The left-hand side of the roof on the main range is deteriorating. The barn is included for its group value with the farmhouse.
