Description

This building is a farm structure, likely a barn with integrated stables and possibly a cider house, located immediately east of Beenleigh Farmhouse. It is constructed from slate rubble and features a slate roof, with a gable end facing south towards the road and a grouted scantle slate roof at the north end, which has early crested ridge tiles. The south gable end wall includes a plinth with chamfered slate weathering. The building has a long rectangular plan; the north end may serve as a cider house or granary, the center may function as a barn or cider house, and the south end appears to contain stables with a loft above.

The west front, which faces the farmyard in front of the house, has small first-floor window openings with slate cills. The ground floor features windows and doorways, all adorned with dressed slate segmental arches. There is a barn doorway at the center and a stable doorway to the right, with windows on either side. A small window is located on the south gable end, which has an inserted brick arch and a blocked ventilation slit above. An opposing barn doorway on the outer east side has a concrete lintel inserted. The interior has not been inspected.
