Carthouse At Cornfields Farm

The carthouse at Cornfields Farm is a stable and carthouse built in the late 19th century. It is constructed from coursed, buff sandstone rubble with sandstone dressings and features a Kerridge stone-slate roof. The building has a rectangular plan and is two stories high with a six-bay front. The four bays on the left contain two stables, each with a door and a square window beneath plain stone lintels. The two bays on the right serve as carthouses, which are covered by segmental arches with raised keystones. Above, there is a single square pitch-hole for the hayloft. This structure is noted as the best among several late 19th-century farm buildings commissioned by the 1st Lord Newton for farms on the Lyme Estate. It is listed for its group value.
