Byres And Barn South East Of Home Farmhouse

The byres and barn located south-east of Home Farmhouse are part of the planned Home Farm of Greystoke Castle, dated and inscribed twice with "H.H. 1836." The building also features inscriptions over the right doorway identifying John Barker as the architect and over the left doorway identifying Joseph Turner as the builder. The facade is made of pink sandstone ashlar, complete with an eaves cornice and V-jointed quoins, set on a chamfered plinth. The return walls are constructed from coursed pink sandstone rubble, featuring similar eaves and plinth.

The byres have a corrugated iron roof, while the barn has a graduated greenslate roof. The structure is two storeys tall and consists of seven bays, with rear right-angled ranges and the barn forming an overall U-shape, all built at the same time. The facade includes a central gabled projection with a through segmental archway, and the gable is inscribed and dated. There are low segmental doorways at either end, along with regularly spaced casement windows and loft openings, all set in raised stone surrounds.

The left return wall has blocked segmental arches beneath raised stone-surround loft openings. The right return wall features a loft doorway flanked by two-light flat stone-mullioned windows, above small vented openings, all in raised stone surrounds. The barn extends beyond this, with a left segmental projecting cart entrance that includes a gable datestone, a smaller right projecting doorway, and slit vents on two levels. A lower right extension and 20th-century additions are not of interest. The building is listed for its group value with Home Farmhouse.
