Description

This is a bank barn with an attached engine house, dated 1824, located approximately 20 metres east-south-east of Great Bidlake. It features local stone rubble walls with granite dressings and a hipped slate roof. The barn has a rectangular plan, with a row of shippons on the ground floor and two threshing floors above, accessible from the higher ground level at the rear. The structure is two storeys tall and has a symmetrical front with two large doorways on the first floor leading to the threshing floors, positioned to the left and right of centre, each with elliptical stone arches. Between these doorways are three circular pitching holes, with the central one displaying a date-stone from 1824. Originally, there were seven doorways on the ground floor, all with elliptical stone arches; however, four of these have been converted into windows. Additionally, there is a row of pigeon-holes below the eaves and an open-sided semi-octagonal horse-engine house at the rear of the left end.
