Description

This building is a barn, cowbyres, and stable located to the west of Hyam Farmhouse, dating from the mid-18th century. It is constructed of coursed rubble with stone dressings, featuring a double Roman tile roof for the barn and stone slate roofs for the attached ranges. The structure has an L-shaped plan, with the barn positioned at the south-west corner and a long cowbyre and stable range facing north.

The barn is five bays wide and has a cruciform plan, with midstreys on the north and south sides, and weatherboarding on the gables. It includes two-leaf plank doors and a roof that is half-hipped at the ends. There is a lean-to shed at the south-west corner and an attached workshop range with a pantile roof at the east end. The long cowbyre range features a lean-to roof supported by circular stone piers, with some brick infilling in the left end bays. The floor of the cowbyre is made of stone sets.

At the north end of the cowbyre range, there is a small two-storey stable with a plank door, which was covered in creeper during the last survey in August 1986. Inside the barn, there is an original roof structure consisting of butt-purlins, collars, and tie beams.
