Description
Greenscombe Farm outbuilding, located approximately 10 meters east of the farmhouse, is a Grade II listed structure. This outbuilding, which has served various purposes including a stable, granary, barn, cider house, and barrel store, dates back to the 17th century and was remodeled in the late 19th century. It is constructed from coursed limestone rubble and features a gabled Welsh slate roof.
The building has a rectangular plan with a central five-bay barn. To the front, there is a barrel store, while the right side contains a harness room, stables, and granary. The left side includes a cider house and cartshed. The outbuilding is one storey high, with lofts above the stables and cartshed.
The left side features a segmental lintel over late 19th-century plank doors leading to the cartshed, and a segmental stone arch over similar doors to the cider house. There is also an overlight above a similar door set in a heavy pegged frame, and a segmental stone arch over a two-light casement window that blocks the former threshing-floor entry. Segmental stone arches are present over two late 19th-century plank doors, flanked by two two-light casements, followed by late 19th-century plank double doors to the threshing floor, and more segmental stone arches over two similar casements. A further stable set back to the right has segmental stone arches over a late 19th-century plank door and flanking two-light casements, with steps leading to a plank loft door at the right gable end.
The rear elevation has two threshing-floor doorways with 19th-century strap hinges on plank doors and timber lintels over 19th-century plank loft and ground-floor doors, also with strap hinges.
Inside, the cider-barrel store features a thatch ceiling. The cider house contains a late 19th-century iron screw press, a small early 20th-century cider mill, and two 17th-century A-frame trusses with pegged collars. Other areas have late 19th-century trusses, except for the 17th-century part timber-framed front wall of the barn, which has a braced wall post. There is a 17th/18th-century plank loft door with strap hinges set in a heavy pegged frame leading from the barn to the stable. The stables include stop-chamfered beams and ramped stalls. This building is a notable example of a combined type of farm building.
