Description

This building is a bank barn located approximately 10 metres south-south-west of Lower Hellingtown Farmhouse. It is now used as stables and features stone rubble walls topped with a gabled corrugated asbestos roof. Originally, the ground floor served as shippons, but it has since been converted into stables, with a barn above. A horse engine house has been built at the back of the barn on higher ground.

The barn is two storeys tall and has a regular facade with three doorways on the ground floor, each featuring stone segmental arches with dressed voussoirs. Between the doorways are single light windows. On the first floor, there is a wide doorway at the centre, flanked by pigeon holes under the eaves. The left gable end has rough granite-framed slits, while the right gable end incorporates a three-light granite mullion window, although the mullions have been removed. The horse engine house is located at the rear of the barn, to the left of centre.
