Outbuilding About 30 Metres North Of Laployde Barton

BRIDFORD ~~ SX 88 NW 2/39 Outbuilding about 30 metres north of Laployde Barton GV II Outbuilding. Circa mid/late C17. Granite rubble with a corrugated iron roof, gabled at ends. Plan: Rectangular on plan with 2 later short front projections and a lean-to at the right end projecting to the front with the roof of the main block carried down as a catslide over the 2 projections and the lean-to, forming porches to 2 doorways on the front. Exterior: Lofted, the loft incomplete. 2 C17 doorways with chamfered doorframes on the front, sheltered by the lean-to roof across the front projections. The left hand doorway, flanked by windows, has the remains of a porch canopy and a loft opening above. The rear elevation facing the road has 3 loft openings, 2 ground floor windows and a ruinous doorway. Interior: Not all the roof trusses visible at time of inspection (1987) but those visible are side-pegged jointed cruck trusses with collars lap dovetailed into the principal rafters. 2 neat first floor chamfered doorframes are surprisingly well- finished and small in size for an agricultural building. Group value with Laployd Barton and the barn opposite the house (q.v.).
