Barn Approximately 50 Metres South East of Combe House

This barn, located approximately 50 meters south-east of Combe House, is likely part of a former dwelling. It dates from the late 17th century or early 18th century and was altered and remodeled in the late 18th century. The structure is built from roughly-coursed blue ragstone rubble with some sandstone, featuring quoins made from both materials, and has a stone slate roof.

The barn has a linear plan oriented on a north-south axis, constructed at right angles to the slope in two unequal portions. The longer and narrower southern portion, which was the former dwelling, is two low storeys high and faces west. It currently has only one window on the first floor and retains the base of a corbelled chimney at the south gable. To the left, there is a square-headed wagon entrance with a wooden lintel and damaged board doors. To the right of this entrance, there are three large rectangular lintels above blocked openings that seem to have been a doorway, a window, and a fire-window, all with remnants of stone-slate drip-courses above them. Above and between these openings is a rectangular window that lacks joinery.

The barn extends to the south, projecting at both the front and rear. It features coupled doorways of unequal height with a drip-course above and a course of through-stones higher up. The rear of the barn has one small blocked 1-light window that is approximately opposite the former doorway at the front.

Inside, there is a recessed flue from the former chimney with corbels at the top that are slightly smoke-blackened. The barn has 18th-century roof trusses, while the domestic portion has 20th-century roof trusses. The history of the building is not well-documented, but it may be the remains of a longhouse that preceded the current Combe House. The barn forms a group with Combe House.
