Description
This is a farm building, likely used as shippons with a loft above, dating from the late 18th century or early 19th century. It is constructed of local slate rubble and features a slate roof with a hipped corner and hipped end, while the back slope is clad in corrugated iron. The building has an L-shaped plan and adjoins the lower end of Sweetstone Farmhouse, forming an L-shaped range around a farmyard in front of the house, which it seems to have replaced.
The exterior consists of two storeys with asymmetrical elevations. There are doorway openings on both the ground and first floors, each with timber lintels and plank doors. The front of the ground floor wing has two small window openings fitted with 20th-century casements. At the end of the wing, there is a small single-storey outshut made of stone rubble with a corrugated asbestos roof. A wide loft doorway is located at the back where the ground level is higher. The interior was not accessible during the survey in 1988.
