Description
These farm buildings, located approximately 40 metres north-west of Wrench Green Farmhouse, date from the late 18th century and have been altered in the 19th century. They are constructed from dressed sandstone with orange-red brick piers and arches in the cart-shed, and feature pantile roofs. The structure includes a two-storey barn and cart-shed with a granary above, flanked by single-storey ranges of stables, cowhouses, and loose boxes, all arranged around three sides of a walled foldyard, which has been later roofed.
The front of the buildings has a five-bay yard wall with gable walls on either side, one gable wall on the left and a pair on the right. There is a cart arch with a heavy timber lintel in the yard wall, and an original doorway to the left that has been blocked and replaced with a 12-pane fixed light beneath a plain lintel. To the right, there are three similar windows with their own lintels. A stable door is located on the left gable wall, and there are board doors on the right, all featuring bordered, roughly-tooled lintels. The flanking ranges have pitched roofs, while the yard has a two-tier hipped roof.
At the rear, there is a two-storey, seven-bay front with a single-storey outbuilding to the right. Double board doors are set beneath an elliptical arch to the right of centre, with a second doorway at the far left. To the right, there are three segmental cart arches with shuttered pitching holes above, and two additional pitching holes on each side of the double doors. The outbuilding to the right has coped gables and a half-hipped roof. Additionally, there is a pigeon loft situated over the barn on the left.
Inside, the yard is a rectangular space with aisles on all four sides, featuring a three-bay braced king-post roof that rises above the aisle roofs. Raked struts from the aisle tie beams support the roofs of the aisles.
