Farm Outbuilding Attached To North East Gable Of Outbuilding, Formerly Farmhouse 35 Metres North West Of Raughtonhead Hill Farmhouse

This farm outbuilding, dating from the mid 18th century to the early 19th century, features some 20th-century alterations and additions. The earlier section is constructed of sandstone, laid in courses beneath a stone slate roof. The later section, which is at right angles to the stone range and attached to the north-east gable of the former farmhouse, is made of red brick in English garden wall bond and consists of four bays. It has a tall arched through-way at the north-west end, supported by a curved timber lintel. The south-west side wall has two tiers of plain slit vents.

The south-east gable has a central doorway leading to a manure passage, framed by a quoined surround and a massive stone lintel. There are single vents flanking the doorway and an apex vent above. The north-east side wall features a two-bay lean-to beneath a Welsh slate roof, with a smaller brick lean-to alongside. The brick section, which rises from an earlier plain stone plinth, has six bays and is topped with a 20th-century corrugated sheet roof. The north-east gable includes three tiers of slit vents at the apex.

The north-west side wall, which adjoins the former farmhouse, has two tiers of eight vents. The south-east side wall contains a quoined doorway within the arched through-way, a 20th-century inserted window, a first-floor inserted doorway, and a blocked doorway at the apex. Some slit vents remain despite these modifications. Inside, the stone section has overlofts supported by 19th-century sawn timbers. There is a central drain passage with raised standings on either side, some featuring plain cobbled floors and sandstone kerbs. Some boskins are properly joined, while others are nailed together. The roof structure is supported by two 19th-century shouldered king post trusses and one 18th-century collar and tie beam truss, with trenched double purlins. The brick section has a three-bay roof with 20th-century replacement joinery.
