Barn And Attached Cattle Stalls Approximately 20 Metres North Of Chesterton Farmhouse

This building is a barn and attached cattle stalls located approximately 20 meters north of Chesterton Farmhouse. The barn dates from the 18th century and early to mid-19th century, while the cattle stalls are from the early to mid-19th century. It is constructed of coursed squared limestone rubble and features Welsh slate roofs, with the barn having a hipped roof on the right side and a tall square-section tapering chimney at the front right.

Originally, the barn was a four-bay single structure from the 18th century, which was extended to the northeast in the early to mid-19th century by adding another four bays and a pair of hipped-roofed porches. A 19th-century lean-to addition between the porches on the southeast side once housed a steam engine, and the chimney from this remains. The southeast side includes a 19th-century window and a plank door that were inserted into a blocked former doorway of the 18th-century porch to the left, where the timber lintel remains. There is also a pointed opening with timber Y-tracery in the gable of the porch. The lean-to steam engine house has a similar 19th-century window and door, while the porch to the right features a pair of plank doors with a timber lintel and a 19th-century window above.

On the northwest side, there are tall plank doors in the 19th-century porch to the left, and an opening in the 18th-century porch to the right that is now filled in. The interior is largely floored and contains 18th-century trusses with 19th-century rafters on the southwest side, and 19th-century king post trusses on the northeast side. The attached cattle stalls, which were formerly open to the front, are now boarded and have a single-rafter roof with a plank ridge. The interior is divided into six stalls with a feeding passage on the right side and rear, and the partitions are now made of concrete blockwork.
