Stone Barn, Cowhouse And Stables In Farmyard At Badhamsfield

The stone barn, cowhouse, and stables at Badhamsfield form a contiguous farmyard complex. The barn dates from the early 18th century, while the cow shelter to the left is likely an addition from the later 18th century. The stables at the rear were built in the 19th century. The structures are made of rubblestone, with the barn featuring thin coursed stone. The roofs have several rows of stone tiles at their base and double Roman tiles above. The barn is T-shaped, with the slightly lower cowhouse to the west and a lean-to shelter on circular stone piers to the southwest. The stable blocks are located on the north side, at the east end of the barn and directly north of the cowhouse. The barn has a central opposed cart entry that projects in the gable at full height on the south side. This gable is clad in shingles, and below it are double doors that are two-tiered and boarded. The cowhouse has a window in the west wall with a cambered relieving arch above a 20th-century concrete lintel. There are also inserted 20th-century windows at the front and back of the barn at the east end. The inward-facing walls of the stable blocks are partially made of brick.
