Sutton Farm Stone Barn

This is a barn, stables, and shelter sheds, dating from 1789, with alterations made in the 19th and 20th centuries. A datestone indicates the original build date. Constructed of tooled sandstone on a dressed sandstone plinth, it features finely tooled dressings and a slate roof. The building comprises a nine-bay barn with stables and shelter sheds at the rear. The front facade is two stories high, with six openings on the first floor. A full-height double boarded door is centrally located beneath a segmental arch, flanked by buttresses that were added later. Single boarded doors are set beneath segmental arches to the centre left and right, with window openings at each end. A recessed circular date panel sits above the centre door. Segment-arched first-floor openings have shutters. All openings are framed by arches constructed of finely tooled voussoirs. The roof is hipped. The rear elevation features two low storeys with five first-floor openings, and taller end pavilions. The ground-floor openings of the central range are semicircular, now blocked by brick and stone walls that contain windows with top-opening lights. A catslide roof extends over the central range, with hipped roofs on the end pavilions. Internally, the barn has a roof supported by nine king-post trusses. The rear section retains original stabling partitions and mangers.
