Barn With Horse Engine House And Shippons To Right Approximately 20 Metres To North Of North Lee Farmhouse

This is a barn with a horse-engine house and adjoining shippons, located approximately 20 meters north of North Lee Farmhouse. It dates from the mid to late 19th century and is constructed from uncoursed stone rubble, topped with gable-ended Welsh-slate roofs, and a hipped roof over the engine house. The building has an L-shaped layout facing south, with the barn on the left (west) side featuring a cart entrance at the rear, and a polygonal-ended horse-engine house at the rear of the right-hand end. To the right (east) is a range of shippons that includes a wing returning to the front at the right-hand end, with two storeys.

The exterior includes a two-leaf boarded door in the south wall of the barn, opposite the rear cart entrance, which has a flat stone-arched head. There is also a blocked doorway with a 20th-century concrete blockway and a flat stone-arched head. The rear of the barn has large boarded double doors with a wooden lintel and a shallow porch made up of short sections of wall and a pent roof. The horse-engine house is supported by three rectangular stone piers and features canted corners, with some openings blocked with stone and concrete blockwork. The adjoining L-plan range of shippons has boarded loft doors, ground-floor two-light windows with boarded shutters, and boarded ground-floor doors, all with stone segmental-arched heads.

Inside, the barn has a six-bay roof supported by king-post trusses, and there is a boarded hatch between the barn and the engine house. The engine house contains two trusses, with principal rafters and collars.
