Description

This is an L-shaped barn dating from the mid-19th century, located immediately to the east-south-east of Hedge Barton Farmhouse. The barn features granite rubble walls with dressed granite quoins and voussoir arches above the openings. The main south-east block has a dry slate roof with a gable end on the left, which includes coping stones. The north-west wing has a tarred slate roof with a hipped end.

The barn has an L-shaped plan, with both sections containing shippons below and a barn above. The north-east section includes a threshing floor with machinery powered by a water wheel located at the left-hand gable end. The structure is two storeys high. The main left-hand section has five doorways, with the two furthest to the right now converted into windows. There is a wide loading door at first floor level in the centre, flanked by ventilation slits.

On the right wing, there is an inserted ground floor doorway to the left, with a threshing door above it. Stone steps on the far right lead up to the first floor. All original door openings are topped with voussoir stone segmental arches. At the rear of the wing, there are two double doors at either end on the ground floor and a narrow door to the right of centre. On the first floor, three evenly spaced openings are now covered by ivy. A large water wheel is attached to the left gable end of the wing.
