2 large barns and linhay forming single block enclosing 2 farmyards. Early C19 and later. Cob and random volcanic trap rubble partly whitewashed under dry slate gabled-end roofs, asbestos tiled roof to north east elevation. Large barn faces farmhouse, with cob end and rear walls, and stone front, with 2 opposed, slightly projecting wagon porches with plank doors and external stairs to loft; gabled timber dovecot attached to front wall, of 4 tiers, with 18 nesting boxes. 4-light timber windows at ground and first floor the lower under heavy timber lintel. External flight of stairs to right. At right-angles to this barn (and forming a T-plan) is a long range, enclosing the north east side of both the main farmyard (including the farmhouse) and a rear yard with a 12-stall linhay. The north east elevation of this block is placed under a continuous roof broken at the centre by a large gable with overhanging eaves which affords shelter to external access. Three 3-light timber windows to each floor to right of north-east elevation and two 3-light windows to left, those at ground floor under heavy timber lintels, all windows widely spaced and small. Part of a group ranged around 3 sides of a farmyard with Newhall Farmhouse (q.v.) on the fourth side.
