Description
This is a rubble-stone former barn and granary, dating from the 18th century and situated behind coped gables with a steep slate roof. The building faces the farmyard on its southeastern side, featuring a central passage doorway with a timber lintel. To the right of the doorway are two tiers of five ventilation strips, while to the left are three blocked ventilation strips in the lower tier and one in the upper tier. The southwestern end of the front, which formerly served as a granary, has been converted into two-story accommodation, named Engine Room and Castle View. This converted section includes an inserted half-glazed door and overlight, alongside a nine-pane sash window to the right, both set under brick segmental heads. Above, there are two six-pane windows. Stone steps lead to the former granary, which now has a replacement half-glazed door and overlight under a renewed lintel within an original opening. The right-hand gable end features three tiers of stepped vents.
The northwest side also has a central doorway similar to the southeastern one. To its left are two tiers of five ventilation strips, and to the right, blocked ventilation strips – two in the lower tier and one above. Two lower projections, originally outbuildings and now converted into accommodation, are situated on the right-hand side. The first, called The Dairy, is a single-story structure illustrated on the 1846 Tithe map. It features a slate roof, a brick stack on a coped gable to the right, a boarded door, and three horned sashes. The rear of The Dairy features ventilation strips. Adjacent to The Dairy is a later, lower, single-story three-window range, known as The Box Cottage, depicted on the 1889 Ordnance Survey. This section is also of rubble stone and slate roof, with a half-glazed boarded door left of centre and a boarded door right of centre, alongside nine-pane sashes, all under brick segmental heads. The gable end has a twelve-pane sash window and an attic nine-pane sash window.
Inside the barn, the floor is of flagstone and the wagon bay is cobbled. The walls have slate-lined skirting. The roof structure of the barn and wagon bay consists of a four-bay design, incorporating two open trusses, one with tie and collar beams, and a fourth truss with just a collar beam. A stone dividing wall runs along the southwest side of the wagon bay, reaching the height of the tie beam, with a replacement door set within a wider, older opening. The closed truss incorporates a sash window, potentially in what was an earlier opening.
