Description
This is a range of barns located about 20 meters northwest of Wringworthy Farmhouse, dating from the early 19th century, with a later 19th-century addition on the right and subsequent alterations. The barns are constructed from granite and slatestone rubble, featuring granite dressings and slate roofs with ridge coping. The complete range is arranged in a U-shape around a farmyard, with the first range forming an L-shape to the left and a later barn added as a cross-wing to the right.
On the left side, the two-storey barn has four ground-level openings with granite lintels, which are partially blocked on both sides, along with a loading door and three ventilation slits beneath the eaves. It has large quoins, and the gable end features a wide ground floor opening above which is a small round-headed window made from a single block of Hurdwick stone, likely reused.
The central range includes a cart entry on the left with granite dressings and a brick segmental head featuring a granite keystone, along with three similar openings to the right that have flat granite lintels and a loading door beneath the eaves. There is a straight joint to the right, and the central range has been extended by one additional bay, which includes a ventilation slit at both the ground and first floor, as well as a door opening with a flat granite lintel.
The later, taller 19th-century barn forming the cross-wing to the right has no openings at the ground floor, but features a wide upper loading door on the right with a granite cill, a ventilation slit, and a small upper opening with a granite cill and lintel. The gable end has a 20th-century lean-to and a small paired granite ventilation slit above. The right return of the 19th-century range has a similar upper loading door that corresponds to the opening onto the farmyard, three ventilation slits, and a smaller loading door with a granite cill and lintel. The ground floor has three bays that are open with segmental-headed brick arches supported on cast iron piers, along with a door featuring a granite lintel and a ventilation slit at the end right. The interior has not been inspected.
