Description
This is a barn, approximately 25 metres south-west of Lower Corndon Cottage, that has been converted into stables. It dates from the 18th century, with a possibly earlier core. The structure is built of granite stone rubble with roughly-dressed granite quoins and cob on the wall top, topped with a corrugated iron roof that was formerly thatch.
The barn, now used as stables with a hayloft above, faces east. The front features a doorway and a hayloft loading hatch above, both with plain 19th-century doors, set in the blocking of a tall doorway that has an oak lintel. There is no indication of a doorway on the rear wall. The right end wall has a slit window where a small doorway has been blocked. The left (south) end wall has a central slit window at both ground and first floor levels. The roof is half-hipped at each end.
Inside, there is an inserted hayloft floor supported by roughly soffit-chamfered crossbeams, and there are 20th-century stalls. The roof consists of five bays with A-frame trusses that have pegged and spiked lap-jointed collars. This barn is part of a group with the nearby byre and Lower Corndon and Lower Corndon Cottage.
