Barn Immediately To South East Of Langstone Farmhouse

This is a barn located immediately to the southeast of Langstone Farmhouse, likely dating from the 16th century and extended in the 17th century. It is constructed from granite rubble with large granite quoins and grounders, topped with a corrugated iron roof that has half-hipped ends. The barn has a long rectangular shape, featuring a cart entrance or threshing floor entrance to the right of the center on the northwest side, along with a smaller opposing doorway. The lower end has been extended, likely for stables, which includes a loft above, causing the building to widen at this point. There are later lean-tos on the southeast and northwest sides, as well as a smaller opposing doorway.

The large barn entrance has a timber lintel and is positioned to the right of center. There are two blocked openings to the right, each with timber lintels, and a small window above. A high-level window is located to the left, with a doorway at the far left that is blocked at the base. The original lower gable end features pigeon holes, which are now within the extension. The extension includes a ground floor doorway with a loading door above it, and several ventilation slits in the gable end. The higher gable end has a loading door with granite lintel and jambs.

Inside the original building, there are two original trusses at the higher end and one at the lower end. These trusses are raised crucks, morticed at the apex with triangular strengthening blocks. The collars are cambered, morticed to the principal rafters, and chamfered underneath. There are two tiers of threaded purlins and a threaded ridge, along with short raised hip crucks at either gable end. The rafters have been renewed, and the other trusses have been replaced with rough nailed principal rafters.
