GV II

Barn and cowhouse; early C19; random rubble stone; coursed squared stone to cowhouse and cartshed; tiled roof. L-plan, single storey. 3-bay barn on approach to house: double boarded doors to threshing floor, at far end of barn from road: segmental head to frame, brick arch above. To left 2 rows of 3 slit air vents. Circular owl-hole in gable on left return: gable set on splay to match line of road. Internally barn open, with collar and tie-beam trusses, and 2 pairs of purlins. Hipped cartshed against gable, with undoored opening to approach to house, timber lintel over forms wallplate. 10-bay cowhouse abuts back of cartshed, nearly at right-angles to barn. Originally open fronted to yard against barn, with square timber posts with angle struts to wallplate at head: some openings now boarded up. Collar and tie-beam truss: wind-braces from wallplate upwards, cutting rafters. Backs onto road. Single storey range runs from barn towards house. Range opposite cowhouse, at right-angles to barn, running out from threshing floor, not of special interest. Cowhouse and barn probably of same date, but better stone to former as against the then main road. Included for group value.
