Barn And Shippon About 15 Metres North West Of Clift Farmhouse

This building is a barn and shippon located about 15 meters northwest of Clift Farmhouse. It dates from the late 18th century and has undergone some later alterations. The structure is made of mixed slatestone and sandstone rubble, with brick dressings, and features a hipped roof covered in scantle slate with ridge coping.

The barn includes a 7-bay shippon underneath, with a hay loft above that is accessible from a higher level at the rear. There is a 19th-century addition at the rear left and 20th-century additions to the rear right. The front of the ground floor has seven round-arched openings made of brick, some of which are blocked as windows. At the upper level, there are two loading doors with timber lintels, one of which has a hipped slate hood, along with a small loading door with a brick segmental head on either side.

The right end of the barn features two small upper loading doors with brick segmental heads, a door to the right with a timber lintel, and two narrow arched blocked openings at ground level, likely for drainage through channels. The left end has a door with a timber lintel and an upper loading door. The 19th-century addition on the left has a 3-bay hipped roof supported by scissors trusses, principal rafters, and two rows of purlins, along with two ventilation slits under the eaves leading to the upper level, and a door to the left with a brick segmental head. The 20th-century addition to the rear right has a similar door inside.

Inside, the barn features a 10-bay roof with halved and crossed principal rafters, tie-beams, and collars, along with two rows of purlins. At the ground floor level, there are stalls along the rear with a central drainage channel.
