Outbuilding To West Of Low Ludderburn

The outbuilding to the west of Low Ludderburn is a bank barn that has been converted for domestic use. It likely dates from the 18th century and has some alterations from the 20th century. The structure is made of roughcast stone and features a slate roof. There are three entrances with pivoted doors leading to the lower level, along with two small windows. The upper level includes a window with paired sashes that have vertical glazing bars and horns. The left side has a window with a drip course and paired sashes. The rear, facing the lane, has a lateral stack, while the right side has an entrance to the upper level accessed by stone steps. Notably, Arthur Ransome, the journalist and author, lived at Low Ludderburn from 1925 to 1935, during which time he converted the upper level of the barn into a workroom where he wrote 'Swallows and Amazons'.
