Description
Scales and the adjoining barn are a farmhouse and former barn dating from the mid-18th century. The building features whitewashed rubble walls and is topped with a graduated greenslate roof, which includes cement rendered chimney stacks. The barn has a corrugated roof. The structure is two storeys high and consists of three bays, with the left L-shaped barn now partly converted into part of the house. A panelled door with an overlight is set in a painted stone surround. The windows are sash style with glazing bars, also in painted stone surrounds. The closest part of the barn to the house has 20th-century sash windows in plain reveals. There is a large plank cart door in a plain opening beneath a wooden lintel and another plank door under a loft doorway, both in plain openings.
