Description
Brownberry Barn is a house and barn constructed under a single roof, dating from the 17th, 18th, and early 19th centuries. The building is made of rubble with a stone slate roof and 20th-century corrugated asbestos covering, featuring stone coped gables and quoins. The south front has the barn on the right, which is built of coursed watershot rubble with projecting through stones. It includes a ground floor doorway and two air vents, with three additional air vents above. To the left is a later house with a doorway that has an ashlar surround, flanked by two partly blocked windows with similar surrounds. There is also a plank door, a shuttered window, and another plank door. Above, there are three irregularly spaced hay loft doors. The interior contains remnants of a 17th-century smoke hood.
