Outbuilding Range To East Of Hooks House

The outbuilding range to the east of Hooks House is a barn and byres constructed between the 18th and early 19th centuries. It consists of a single long range with four sections, built from sandstone featuring varied tooling, predominantly in a herringbone pattern, and topped with pantiled roofs. The walls have been raised by two courses. The structure is one storey near the house and 1½ storeys further away. It includes three boarded doors and three boarded boarding doors, along with one added red brick raking dormer. The section closest to the house is the oldest, showcasing a heavy chamfered door lintel and a pattern of vent slits. Inside the oldest part, there is a very heavy collar and tie-beam truss supported by two stone piers, which are below the level of the raised walls and their wall plate. Additional spur pieces have been added to the backs of these principals to extend the two levels of purlins and elevate them to the later eaves height.
