Barn With Attached Horse Engine House Circa 20 Metres South East Of Great Halfsbury Farmhouse

This is a barn with an attached horse-engine house, located about 20 meters southeast of Great Halfsbury Farmhouse, and likely built in the early 19th century. The structure is made of unrendered cob on stone rubble footings, with the right gable end rebuilt in brick and the left gable end in concrete block. It features a slate roof with gable ends, while the horse-engine house has a polygonal slate roof. The barn has a unique design, with the front and rear walls curving in a quarter-round shape and twin opposing cart entrances. The horse-engine house extends to the left of the rear right-hand entrance. Each entrance retains double plank doors, except for the front left-hand entrance. The entrances are sheltered by porches formed by rounded cob projections that support a continuous slate pent roof over both entrances. The horse-engine house is open-sided, with its polygonal slate roof supported by timber posts, and it still has a horizontal winding beam in place.
