Barn To East Of Grange Farmhouse With Attached Wheelhouse And Cowhouse

A late 18th-century combination farm building, with a wheelhouse likely added in the early 19th century. The south (road) front is constructed of coursed squared stone with herringbone tooling, while the rear is of coursed nibble stone. It has Welsh slate roofs. The building comprises a barn of six internal bays, with a projecting wheelhouse at the left end and a three-bay cowhouse on the right.

The cowhouse is lower than the barn, featuring a small eight-pane window at the right end with a stone lintel and sill. There is shaped kneelers and ashlar coping to the right gable, and 20th-century skylights. The barn has a plinth to the left bays, and on the right, two quoined segmental waggon arches with ashlar voussoirs flank slit vents, and a six-pane sash window with a stone lintel is placed above each.

The left-hand end is partially obscured by the apsidal wheelhouse, which has a plinth, three wood-lintelled openings in the apse, pilaster buttresses to the sides, a 20th-century board door in the left return, and a wide opening in the right return. Inside the barn, a board stable door with a stone lintel is located on the right. Shaped kneelers and ashlar coping are present on the barn gables.

The rear of the barn displays opposing board stable doors, a slit vent, and two stepped windows to the right; to the left are two slit vents, and at the upper level, two quoined hatches. The cowhouse has a central board stable door.

Inside the barn, the roof is supported by principal rafter trusses. The wheelhouse has a fishbone king-post roof truss on a large scantling tie beam, bearing carpenter's marks, and two chamfered beams run to the barn wall, flanking a square machinery hole. Stop-chamfered spine beams with run-out stops are also present.
