Hallsenna With Adjoining Barn, Stables And Dovecote

Hallsenna, along with its adjoining barn, stables, and dovecote, is a property located on the east side of the track in Gosforth. This mid-18th century building has undergone later additions and alterations. It is constructed from snecked rubble with quoins and features graduated slate roofs with stone ridges, copings, and kneelers, as well as end chimneys on the house.

The house is two storeys tall, although it was originally a single-storey structure. The main part of the house is symmetrical with three bays. The central section has a glazed door flanked by tripartite sash windows on both floors. There is a lower single-bay extension, set back at the north end, which has sash windows on each floor and a lean-to porch. All openings are framed with stone surrounds.

Adjoining the house to the south is a large bank barn, originally comprising three bays, with one additional bay added later. The barn features a wagon entrance to the first floor at the rear, three plank doors, and two small windows on the ground floor front, along with a winnowing door and vent slits above. Steps on the south return lead to the rear, where an arch connects the dovecote to the barn. The dovecote has three plank doors, two small doors, and brick openings above for ventilation.
