Outbuilding Approximately 40 Metres East Of Spriddlestone Barton Farmhouse

This is a circa 18th or early 19th century farm building, now a roofless ruin, located approximately 40 metres east of Spriddlestone Barton Farmhouse. The building is constructed of slate rubble with reused granite window and door frames. All four walls and the end gables remain, though the structure is now almost entirely covered in ivy. It was originally two storeys high. The front of the building facing the road includes a four-centred arch door frame with small carved spandrels, a window with similar roll moulding, and another window with a hollow chamfered frame. A first-floor window is obscured by ivy. The south-east gable contains a reused roll moulded granite window, and at the rear, some reused tracery forms a window. Spriddlestone was the historical seat of a branch of the Fortescue family from around 1355 to 1785. The original medieval house, which was enlarged in the 16th century, no longer stands, but some of its materials have been reused in this outbuilding, as well as in a barn and shippen approximately 50 metres south-south-east of Spriddlestone Barton Farmhouse.
