Barn 40 Metres To North Of Weston Farmhouse

This is a barn dating from around the mid-19th century, located 40 metres north of Weston Farmhouse in North Petherwin. The structure is built of stone rubble, with brick in the left end wall, and features a rag slate roof with half hipped ends.

The barn has an overall 'T' shaped plan, with the main range containing a threshing floor on the left and tall, wide opposing doors on the right. There is a two-storey wing at the front left that housed the grain store, while the rear left wing contained mill stones that were powered by a water wheel in the valley below, connected by a series of rods running across the fields.

The exterior is characterized by the tall barn and the two-storey wing, which has a half hipped slate roof and three rows of pigeon holes on the front left. The right side features a tall wide opening with a heavy unmoulded timber lintel. Inside, the barn has a lofty interior above the threshing floor, supported by a king post roof. This barn is part of a group in an unaltered farmyard.
