Pair Of Barns, Immediately South East Of Corringdon Farmhouse

This pair of barns, located immediately southeast of Corringdon Farmhouse, dates from the 17th century and has 19th-century alterations, specifically dated 1868. Constructed from granite rubble, they feature a dry slate roof with gabled and half-hipped ends, and some early crested ridge tiles. The barns are connected by a buff-coloured brick archway that forms a cartway with a loft above.

The two barns are positioned at an obtuse angle to each other. The south barn includes a shippon facing the farmyard and has a lean-to linhay on the opposite outside wall. On the east side of the south barn, external stone stairs lead to large threshing plain doors, which are covered by a wide slated canopy. There is a ventilation slit to the right of these doors. The lean-to linhay to the left features a circular granite rubble pier, a tallet floor, and a corrugated iron roof. On the opposite side, facing the yard, there are shippen doors and a small opening that may serve as an owl hole or ventilator on the half-hipped south end wall.

The second barn, positioned at an obtuse angle to the north wall, has a small window facing the yard and a loft doorway at the north end, which is at a higher ground level. An open-fronted lean-to on the east side has been filled in with concrete blocks. The two barns are linked by a segmental arched cartway made of buff-coloured brick, with the date 1868 inscribed above the arch. The roof of the south barn features principals with halved apices and lapped collars, all side-pegged, while the roof over the north barn has been replaced with nailed softwood trusses. The loft over the cartway also has nailed softwood trusses. A late 19th-century farmhouse to the northwest is not included in this listing.
