L-shaped Agricultural Range at Parc

Long rectangular range of two conjoined barns each of 5 bays, with a low 3-bay carthouse addition to the NE, thereby forming an L-plan. Of local rubble construction, that to the primary barn (L) with slate ashlar dressings of the highest quality. Modern slate roof with fine overlapping slab-coped gable parapets; double-shaped kneelers and coved eaves. Traces of lime render survive under the eaves and around the entrance of the earlier barn. Central entrances to this, that to the NE original, that to the SW a modern reconstruction based on the latter. This has a wide, slightly-pointed, segmentally-arched entrance with slatestone ashlar voussoirs and quoins. Above is a moulded dripstone supported on corbels in the manner of a returned label; modern boarded doors. Above the NE entrance is an open 2-light mullioned window with original ovolo-moulded slate mullion; evidence for former bars can be seen on the soffit. 2 pairs of ventilation slits flank the entrance on two floors.

The later section is flush with and continuously-roofed with the earlier barn. This has a central entrance with slate lintel and dressed voussoirs (graffito - 'ET 1840'); modern entrance to R with boarded doors. To the L of the primary entrance, a vertical ventilation slit, with 5 further, similar slits to the upper storey. External stepped access to raised loading bay on gable end, with modern boarded door. Opposing entrance to rear, with further ventilation slits and a modern 8-pane casement window.

A low 3-bay former carthouse block adjoins the primary barn to the NE; construction as before with monolithic slatestone piers dividing bays to the farmyard side. Slab-coped gable parapet to gable with curved kneelers.

5-bay primary barn with chamfered oak tie-beam trusses with vertical struts; some purlins and all the rafters are replacements. The trusses flanking the entrance bay show evidence of having been closed above the tiebeam and ceiled below it; the right-hand truss also has a groove on its underside, indicative of a former post-and-panel partition. The dividing floor has been removed (apparently early on), though evidence for its former existence is apparent.
