Description
The farm buildings located immediately to the southwest of Morval Farmhouse date from 1854, as indicated by a datestone, and were built for the Buller family on the Morval Estate. This range of courtyard farm buildings includes a barn with a shippon and threshing floor above, a stable, additional shippons, and an open stock yard. The structures are made of stone rubble and cob, featuring roofs of corrugated iron, corrugated asbestos, and cement-washed scantle slate with gable ends.
The layout is square, surrounding an open courtyard, with an entrance opposite the farmhouse to the northeast and another entrance from the road to the southeast. The two-storey range on the northwest consists of a shippon and threshing floor on the left, and likely a stable with a hayloft above on the right. The left-hand range has four doors beneath dressed stone segmental arches (with the left-hand door blocked by the adjacent range) and three windows with similar arches in between. The first floor features large double threshing doors near the centre, inscribed with 'I F B 1854' on the cill, flanked by two pairs of windows (with the left-hand pair blocked) and two rows of pigeon holes on the right.
The right-hand range has a lower roof, with two windows in dressed stone segmental arches flanking a wide opening for a cart and a door to the right. Above this opening, there are three windows and two rows of pigeon holes. The range on the southwest is single-storey with open-fronted stalls, partly rebuilt using timber posts and rear walls of cob and stone rubble. Additional single-storey ranges of stone rubble are located on the southeast and northeast sides.
