C19 or earlier; the bank barn and the thatched shippon to right of the gatehouse may be C17 or C18. Granite rubble, the lower part of the bank barn build of very large pieces of granite; upper storey of gatehouse rebuilt in concrete block. The 2 left-hand buildings have roofs covered with corrugated iron, hipped on the left. Bank barn is slated and hipped on the right. Gatehouse roof is covered with corrugated asbestos. Shippon to right is thatched with hip at right-hand end. The left-hand building has large double doors and appears to have been a barn. The second building from left was a stable with loft over. The third building from left, the best of the group, was a bank barn with 3 small doorways in ground storey. In centre of upper storey is a small doorway built into a much larger, partly blocked opening with a heavy wood lintel; in front of it is a flight of concrete steps. To the left are 3 rows of pigeon- holes extending right across that side of the barn, while to the right are 4 similar rows at a slightly lower level. In rear wall is a wide doorway matching that at the front; slit window to right of it. Adjoining the bank barn to right, set back a little, is a covered gateway with a small 2 storeyed building incorporated into its left-hand side. To the right of the gateway, set back again, is a shippon with loft over. It has had a series of openings with brick arches in the ground storey, now mostly blocked. Interiors have few details of interest. The bank barn and the shippon have chamfered upper floor beams. Roof trusses appear to be C20, except for shippon which has C18 or early C19 trusses with the collars pegged to the faces of the principal rafters. In centre of yard is a large granite water trough; this is separately listed.
