Barn And Stables With Granary To South East Of Nutbeam Farmhouse

This building is a barn and stables with a granary located to the southeast of Nutbeam Farmhouse, dating from the 18th century. It is constructed of random rubble limestone with dressed quoins and features a stone-slate roof, which has cross-gablet ridge vents on both the granary and the barn. The stables include a granary loft above, with two stable entries and two sets of stone steps leading to the granary. The barn, situated to the south, has a gabled porch on the east side only.

The front of the stables features stable doors with timber lintels and small-paned casement windows beside each door, also with timber lintels. There is a small off-centre raking dormer, and stone steps lead to a doorway with a timber lintel in the loft gable. An additional bay at the north end has a low doorway to the ground floor and stone steps leading to a loft doorway in the gable. The top landing of both sets of stone steps has nosing, and beam ends are exposed in both long walls. There is one small window at the back.

The barn has timber lintels over the doorway, including one in the gabled porch on the east side, and small slit vents on either side of the barn doors. Internally, the barn has five bays supported by tie-beam and collar trusses, with two rows of purlins. A metal grain chute projects through the wall from the granary, and the barn floor is now made of concrete. A metal weather vane tops the south gable end. This building is included for its group value.
