Description
The farm buildings forming the farmyard to the north of Pinslow Farmhouse were built in 1863 for the Bedford Estate. They are constructed from stone rubble with brick dressings and have gabled slate roofs. The farmyard is arranged on three levels, taking advantage of the site's gradient.
To the west, there is a hay barn with large double timber doors, positioned at right angles to a two-storey building that includes a threshing loft, which was once powered by a water turbine. Adjoining the threshing loft at right angles is a two-span fattening shed that projects into the central yard, forming the north side of the farmyard. Dung was transported across the yard to the two-storey east range and was dropped into the ground floor of the dunghouse from timber platforms that extended over the pits. The southern end of the east range used to serve as a carpenters' and blacksmiths' shop. The south range features open-front cartsheds.
The farmyard remains largely unchanged since 1863 and retains all the characteristic features of the Bedford Estate farm buildings from the high farming period, including timber-lined roofs and cleverly designed adjustable ventilation slats.
