Description

The barn and wall adjoining the southeast side of Yenworthy Farmhouse date from around 1850. They are constructed of red sandstone random rubble with brick dressings and feature an asbestos slate roof, along with slate coping on the wall.

The wall next to Yenworthy Farmhouse has a doorway and a carriageway entrance leading into the foldyard. The barn is set into rising ground and has a cellar on the wall side. The wall includes a semi-circular headed doorway and a segmental headed carriageway opening to the right.

The barn has double doors with a gabled porch, a square window to the left, and a bulls-eye window in the gable end. There is also a window below and a 20th-century window that has been inserted in place of a former doorway.

This structure forms a good group with Yenworthy Farmhouse.
