Description

Kiln Barn and Cart Shed at Troup Home Farm is a long single-storey and loft building from the late 18th century, measuring approximately 135 feet by 25 feet. It features long elevations on the north and south sides, constructed from squared tooled cherry-pointed red sandstone with tooled ashlar dressings.

The eastern part of the building was originally a threshing barn, which includes opposing window doors and a kiln. The western section contains four round-headed arcaded cart bays. Each elevation has four loft windows, with the ones on the south side being enlarged. A later large entrance has been added to the south side of the threshing barn, and the rear winnowing door has been blocked. The building has a piended slate roof, but there is no surviving chimney stack for the kiln.

A later doorway in the east gable leads to a brick-lined kiln, which features a perforated tile kiln cottage supported by a series of closely set brick arches. There is a flue from the threshing barn in the west wall. The upper portion of the kiln is now lined with planks, and the floor is also planked. Access to the loft is through a doorway.
