Description
A late 18th-century barn and attached outbuilding stand approximately 30 metres northwest of Tansor Lodge Farmhouse. The buildings are constructed of squared coursed limestone with corrugated asbestos roofs. Originally, the complex comprised a single-unit barn and an attached outbuilding, likely a stable and gig house with a hayloft or granary above, linked by a range with a lower eaves level, probably a former cartshed.
The westernmost building, the stable and gig house, faces Tansor Lodge and features a sliding door on the right, the width of the original gig entrance, a wide door with overlight to the centre left, and small boarded loft windows above. A lean-to shelters a loft door visible from the farmyard to the rear, where another doorway and window with loft openings are present. The barn has various door and louvred or boarded window openings on both sides, protected by wood lintels, and some of these were altered in the 19th century. The linking range has a stone wall facing Tansor Lodge, while the front to the farmyard is a later 20th-century addition.
Inside the stable, a curved wooden lintel spans the gig house doorway, and a large chamfered bridging beam supports the loft floor. The roof structure is pegged, with staggered butt purlins. The barn has a 5-bay 19th-century roof with staggered butt purlins and large tie beams, and the linking range retains its original late 18th-century pegged roof with butt purlins. Later replacement rafters are present.
These late 18th-century farm buildings—a stable/gig house, barn, and linking cartshed—form a significant group with the contemporary, listed former farmhouse, and even the mid-19th century alterations reflect the upgrading of the house during the same period. The walling remains substantially complete, the stable/gig house retains its original openings and internal floor and roof structure, the barn is a sizeable 5-bay structure, and the link building retains one stone wall and its original roof timbers.
