Description
The threshing barn and horse engine house, located about 10 metres east of West Mill Farmhouse, is a structure that likely dates from the 18th century, while the horse engine house is from the late 19th century. The barn is constructed of cob on stone rubble footings and features a bitumen-painted slate roof with gabled ends. The horse engine house, made of stone rubble, is currently used as a bullock shed.
The barn has a rectangular plan and is oriented parallel to the farmhouse, across a narrow yard. Its exterior includes a large pair of threshing doors in the center, which are topped with a timber lintel, and a raised timber threshing floor. There is a smaller door to the right and a loft door to the first floor on the left. The interior of the barn was not inspected, but the horse engine house still retains its engine beam. The buildings have group value with West Mill Farmhouse.
