Threshing Barn And Adjoining Horse Engine House About 10 Metres South West Of Mornacott Farmhouse

This is a threshing barn and an adjoining horse engine house, located about 10 meters southwest of Mornacott Farmhouse. Likely built in the 1870s, it is probably contemporary with other farm buildings at Mornacott. The structure is made of stone rubble and features a slate roof, gabled at the ends of the barn and hipped at the end of the horse engine house.

The barn has a large rectangular shape with a threshing loft above a shippon. The horse engine house is situated in the center on the north side and has a canted north end. On the south elevation, which faces the yard, there are seven 19th-century doors and four windows on the ground floor, along with three loft doors. The rear elevation is symmetrical, featuring tall paired 19th-century doors leading to the threshing floor, flanked by the horse engine house, and smaller 19th-century doors on either side.

The interior of the threshing barn was not inspected, but a beam remains in the horse engine house. This building has group value with Mornacott Farmhouse and other nearby farm buildings.
