GV II

Barn. Probably C18 with later alterations. Red cob on tall footings of coursed red sandstone rubble footings, rebuilt sections and additions of red sandstone rubble or weatherborded timber-framing; Roman tile roof and corrugated-iron roofs to outshuts. PLAN: Former threshing barn facing south-east towards Home Farmhouse (qv). Its north-east end is terraced into the hillslope. Central opposing doorways to the threshing floor. Secondary flooring and secondary outshuts on front, either side of doorway. EXTERIOR: Lofted barn. Central front doorway now contains small diagonal plank doorway with window alongside and hatch above, all in the blocking of original full-height doorway. To right a lean-to stable and to left a former cowhouse which used to be open-fronted, 3 bays on circular piers, but is now blocked with stone rubble. Haylofts of cowhouse and stable with continuous loading platform over central doorway. Roof is half-hipped both ends. Right (north-east) end has large loading hatch doorway to loft from terrace. Left (south-west) end has small doorway and loading hatch to loft. Rear wall has been extensively rebuilt with C20 concrete blocks. INTERIOR: Plain carpentry detail. It appears that the south-west end was floored before the threshing floor and north-east end. Roof replaced in C20. This barn and its associated farmbuildings form part of an exceptionally attractive group of listed buildings in an unspoilt village and the adjoining Cockington Park.
