Barn and stable. C17, altered C19. Brick-nogged timber framing, on stone plinth, partly renewed in brick: generally tiled, but part stone-slate roof. Eight bay building, with 2 symmetrical threshing floors, end bays lofted. Framing 4 square panels high. Elevation to yard: boarded door to stable on left: C19 brick gable built off wallplate for transverse roof to end bay. Double doorway to threshing floor on right, 3 panels high, originally with separate doorposts against main posts: doors missing. To right some top panels with patterned air vents in brickwork: some weatherboarding low down. Second threshing floor doorway as left, but 3 panels wide over, not 4. End bay on right brick ground floor, blocked door; boarded door to loft over. Rear, double doors to threshing floor narrower and lower. Interior: stone-paved threshing floor left: sill each side with curved braces rising to main wall posts, 2 centre vertical posts to tie beam (centre sill cut away on left only). Trusses 2 pairs angle struts, collar only on left of threshing floor: 3 pairs butt purlins, no ridge member left half building, square on right. Wind braces left cut rafters, rise from wallplate to centre purlin, reverse back to ridge: right end braces to first and third purlins from truss. Similar framing to left of right threshing floor; to right 2 long braces main posts to tie beam only. End bays walled off, possibly an alteration. Built as one structure: rafters to left half may have been renewed in C18, so altering wind bracing and ridge details. Building set against it on left not of special interest. Forms group with house (q.v.). (photographs at N.M.R., and in Dymock Down the Ages, 1966, by the Rev. J.E. Gethyn-Jones)
