GV II

Farm buildings, one of which may originally have been a house. C16 and C17 much altered in C19 and C20. Stone rubble walls with granite dressings. Gable ended slate roof. L-shaped plan with a long rectangular main range which judging from its wide granite arches and slits was always a barn. Projecting from the front left is a smaller fully 2-storey building which judging from the quality of its doorway may originally have had some domestic function. The bonding of this building into the barn suggests that it is the earlier. Barn is single storey with loft, wing is 2 storeys. The barn has an asymmetrical front with a gable at the centre over a tall wide granite 4-centred arch with roll moulding. To either side are granite ashlar buttresses. To the right of this are blocked slits with a later inserted window and doorway. To the left of the central gable is a later doorway and window on the first and ground floors beyond which is another 4-centre granite roll moulded arch not as large as the central one but still fairly wide. The wing projects to its left and has on its gable end a chamfered granite slit at the top and blocked single light mullion below with a later window to the right. On the outer face of the wing at the centre is a C16 moulded granite 4-centred arch - more appropriate to a house than farm building, although it is possible that it has been re-used. Later windows have been inserted to either side on both floors. Where this wing meets the gable end of the barn it is apparent that the barn has been butted up to it. On its gable end the barn has 3 granite framed slits and an inserted doorway below. Internally no original features are evident and the internal plan has been altered.
