Description
The stables and barn adjoining the north-west end of Rocknell Farmhouse are likely from the 19th century, though they may be older. They are constructed from local stone rubble and topped with a slate roof. The building has an L-shaped plan, forming two sides of a farm courtyard, with the third side made up by a linhay.
The north-west side features a threshing barn with full-height double doors on opposite ends and short projecting midstrey walls that lead onto the threshing floor. The left end, which is now a workshop, has 20th-century windows beneath contemporary weatherboarding; this section was likely open-fronted originally. The south-west side contains the stables, where the right end has a stable door with an overlight and a 20th-century casement window nearby. An external flight of stone steps leads up to a doorway into the hayloft. The interior has not been inspected.
