Description
The barns, carthouse, and stables, along with an attached wall, are located approximately 50 meters southwest of Chester House. The buildings date back to 1690 and are constructed from regularly coursed limestone with ironstone dressings and a slate roof. Originally, they formed an L-shaped range of two barns, with the northern barn converted into a cottage in the 19th century.
The elevation facing the yard features a central cart entrance with a wooden lintel, flanked by pairs of ventilation slits. The gable ends have ashlar parapets and kneelers, while the rear includes triangular vent holes. The northern range has a two-window arrangement of dormer openings and 19th-century openings at ground level, along with a brick stack at the ridge. The datestone is set into the end gable.
Attached to the north and south are 18th and 19th-century cowhouses and stables. Inside the main barn, some original roof timbers remain. A limestone wall is connected to the rear of the main barn.
