Description

This is a bank barn located immediately north-west of Torhill Farmhouse, likely built in the early to mid 19th century. It features granite rubble walls with dressed granite quoins and lintels, topped by a dry slate roof with gabled ends. The barn has a rectangular plan, with shippons on the ground floor and the barn area above, which is accessible from a higher ground level at the rear. The structure is two storeys tall, with the front displaying four shippon doorways facing the farmyard and two loading doors above. There is also a cart entrance at the rear.

To the north-east, there is a cow-house wing that is at right angles to the barn, forming the north side of the farmyard. This wing is also constructed of granite rubble and has a dry slate roof with gable ends. It features a door on the ground floor to the left, with a loading door above, two windows, and a ventilation slit at the centre. There is a right-hand doorway that has a segmental brick arch. The right-hand end of this wing appears to be a later extension. This barn forms a group with Torhill Farmhouse.
