Description
The byres and hayloft, which were formerly a stable, date from the early 19th century and were built for John Christian Curwen. They are constructed from calciferous sandstone rubble and feature pilastered quoins, topped with a hipped roof made of graduated greenslate. The building has two storeys and consists of eight bays. It includes plank doors and casement windows, with loft doorways and brick-blocked windows. The doorways have quoined surrounds, while the windows are framed with plain stone surrounds. This structure is part of a model farm and is included for its group value with other farm buildings.
