Description
The agricultural range at Arthog Hall Farm dates from the second quarter of the 19th century and was originally used to serve Arthog Hall. It consists of two sections: to the right is a cart house and stable range, and to the left is a large hay barn that is stepped back and adjoining. The building is constructed of rubble with a medium-pitched slate roof featuring a tiled ridge.
The cart house range has two large segmental arched entrances on the right, which are framed by slate-stone voussoirs. To the left, there are three stable entrances with flat stone lintels, and a rectangular window opening to the left of the first entrance from the right. Above the cart entrances, there is a slate stringcourse and a narrow 8-pane rectangular window located under the eaves. To the left, there is a boarded loading bay with a catslide roof, which is a later addition. A blind segmental recess is situated above the central stable door, flanked by large oculi. External stone steps lead to the right gable end, providing access to a recessed boarded door that leads to the upper floor. To the left, there is an added lean-to with another stable door and a small open window fitted with an iron grill.
The adjoining barn range is stepped down and set back. It features weather coursing at the junction with the stable and coach house block, as well as on the extruded lean-to bay. On the right, there is stone stepped access to the first-floor entrance, which has deeply-recessed boarded stable doors and an upper ventilation slit to the right. Diagonally below this entrance is another access point. To the left, flush with this entrance, is the 8-bay hay barn, built of rubble with an open upper loft supported by plain rubble piers. The barn has large entrances up to the eaves at bays 3 and 6, and is supported by queen strut trusses. There are further ground floor entrances to the first two bays from the left, as well as an upper loading bay at the left gable end. An internal dividing wall separates bays 3 and 4.
At the time of inspection in November 1994, the cart house and stable section was partly roofless and missing most of its doors.
