Description
This is a range of farm buildings from the early 19th century, located 15 metres north of Bittadon Barton. The buildings are constructed of rubble and feature a mix of slate and corrugated asbestos roofs at the lower end. The structure consists of four gable-ended sections, including a barn that is partially floored at the upper end and a two-storey outbuilding at the lower end, which has a large cart entrance. The root store and outbuildings at the upper end have been converted into a veterinary surgery.
At the front, there is a long outshut with lean-to roofs that has two recessed cart entrances near the centre. The lower part of the outshut forms a deep cartway entrance to the barn and includes stables with two square openings on each side of the door, which has a timber lintel. The original mangers are still present. At the rear of the barn, there is a right-angled projection with a lower ridge height and a gable end covered by a corrugated roof. This section partially houses an operating overshot water wheel made of iron with wooden paddles, which was formerly used for threshing and is now powering a generator. The upper outshut with the root store behind is blind fronted. This site is included for its group value.
