Description

The main barn at Blashenwell Farm, dated "GP 1760" on its east wall, is located 25 meters west of Blashenwell Farm House. The barn features rubble stone walls and a hipped stone slate roof. On the east wall, facing the farmyard, there is a lean-to cart entrance at the left end, followed by another lean-to with a corrugated sheet roof. To the right, there is a flush door and a ledged high-level door, along with three blocked window openings that have segmental arches. The north end wall has a large opening with double doors.

On the west wall, there is a lean-to at the left end under a slate catslide roof, followed by a shallower brick lean-to. Adjoining this is a large cast iron waterwheel set in a brick pit, along with the remains of a leat. There are also remnants of walls leading to a high-level pond south of the barn. To the right of the wheel is a hipped cart porch, and next to this is a 20th-century concrete lean-to.

Internally, the north section of the barn consists of four bays with a tie-beam roof, while the center section has five bays with a collar beam roof. There is an overhead drive shaft and some remnants of gearing from the waterwheel, which was used to power farm machinery.
