Barn And Adjoining Roundhouse To The South West Of East Down Farmhouse

The barn and adjoining roundhouse, located to the southwest of East Down Farmhouse, date from the 18th century or earlier and have been converted into a field centre in the late 20th century. The structure features whitewashed rendered cob on stone rubble footings and timber, topped with a thatched roof. The barn has a hipped roof at both ends, while the roundhouse has its own thatched roof. The west elevation includes large double timber doors on the left, a section of 20th-century glazing and timber in the center right, and small 20th-century windows beneath timber lintels. The rear elevation is mostly clad in timber. Inside, some 18th-century apex roof trusses remain. The late 20th-century conversion has maintained the appealing thatched roof and overall shape of the building, which is noted for its group value with East Down Farmhouse.
