Description
This range of barns and other farm buildings, located about 10 metres north of Lower Farmhouse, dates from the late 18th century. Constructed from local lias stone that is cut and squared, the buildings feature clay pantile roofs over stone slate base courses. Some roofs are hipped, while others have coped gables adorned with ornamental finials. The structure has an F-plan layout, with projecting wings on the east elevation and the main block running north to south.
The south end of the range is three storeys high and consists of three bays before the first projection, featuring segmental arched doorways and plain openings. Further south, there are two additional bays in a similar style. The first projection is a single storey, followed by the main barn, which has a tall central doorway beneath a coped gable with a finial and an oval window. There is also a second two-storey projection. The buildings have 20th-century lean-to additions on both sides. This range is similar to other structures in the village known to have been built by Caleb Dickinson, who passed away in 1783 and was the owner of Kingweston House.
