Farmbuilding About 30 Metres South-East Of Handley Farmhouse

This is a farmbuilding located about 30 metres south-east of Handley Farmhouse, dating from the mid to late 17th century. It is constructed from stone rubble with some cob on the first floor and features extensive cladding in corrugated iron, with a gabled corrugated iron roof at both ends. The building has a rectangular plan and is likely used as a shippon or stable.

The exterior is primarily covered in corrugated iron, with a doorway situated in the west gable end, though some exterior walls are missing. Inside, the building has a jointed cruck roof, where the feet of the crucks are mortised into crossbeams that support the loft floor. Some of these crossbeams are stop-chamfered. The side-pegged crucks have high cambered collars that are lap dovetailed into the principal rafters. There is a rough plank partition in the loft, and short pegged braces between the principals and feet of one pair of crucks, located at the partition, serve an unknown purpose but may have been part of a loft doorway arrangement. This building is an unusual example of a 17th-century farmbuilding in the region and has group value with Handley Farmhouse.
