Description

This is a barn dating from the late 17th century or early 18th century, constructed from a mix of pink sandstone and cobble rubble, topped with a graduated greenslate roof. The barn is two storeys high and consists of three bays. It features a central plank door and a window on the right, both set in stone surrounds, along with slit vents. On the left side, there is a partly-blocked doorway beneath a two-light chamfered stone-mullioned window. At the rear, there is a cart entrance for accessing the bank. The barn is listed for its group value with Home Farmhouse.
