Description

The farm buildings located approximately 50 metres south-south-west of Crapstone Barton date from the 16th and 17th centuries, with significant alterations made in the 19th and 20th centuries. They feature stone rubble walls with granite dressings and a gable-ended slate roof. The layout is L-shaped, consisting of a long rectangular main range, which appears to have always functioned as a barn due to its wide granite arches and slits.

Attached to the front left is a smaller two-storey building, which likely had some domestic purpose, indicated by the quality of its doorway. The barn is a single storey with a loft, while the wing is two storeys. The barn's front is asymmetrical, with a central gable above a tall, wide granite 4-centred arch that has roll moulding. On either side of this arch are granite ashlar buttresses. To the right, there are blocked slits along with a later inserted window and doorway. On the left side of the central gable, there is a later doorway and window on both the first and ground floors, followed by another granite 4-centred arch, which is not as large as the central one but still fairly wide.

The projecting wing has a gable end featuring a chamfered granite slit at the top and a blocked single light mullion below, with a later window to the right. The outer face of the wing has a 16th-century moulded granite 4-centred arch, which seems more suited to a house than a farm building, suggesting it may have been reused. Later windows have been added on both floors of the wing. The junction where the wing meets the barn shows that the barn has been butted up against it. The barn's gable end has three granite-framed slits and an inserted doorway below. Internally, no original features are visible, and the internal layout has been altered.
