Main Barn at Abbey Farm

The main barn at Abbey Farm is a Grade II* listed building that forms the southern boundary of the farmyard. It is constructed from roughly coursed and squared rubble and features heavy queen post trusses internally. The barn has five bays and likely originally had opposed central entrances, although the northern entrance is now obscured. The northern elevation is mostly covered by later lean-to additions, but it is believed to contain a medieval wall, possibly part of a former dormitory, which has four blocked straight-headed windows with red sandstone surrounds set high above the additions. On the southern elevation, there are double central doors with yellow brick heads, loft entries on either side, and ventilation slits to the left. The stonework incorporates various worked stones. Inside, there are queen post and collar roof trusses. A lower addition to the west may have once served as a cart-shed, featuring a timber lintel supported by a central brick pier over infilled entries in the southern elevation.

The cowhouse is located as the eastern range of buildings around the farmyard, built at right angles to the main barn to its south. It is primarily from the late 18th century but includes several worked stones from the friary and likely stands on the site of a monastic building. The southern section appears to be contemporary with the earlier main barn, and the building was later extended to the north. It is made of roughly coursed and squared stone with slate roofs, has two storeys, and features a five-window range that is irregularly fenestrated, all with voussoir heads. There is an inserted or renewed central doorway with flanking windows, and a blocked door also flanked by windows to the left. The right-hand section is obscured by lean-to additions. Near the northern gable end, a niche contains a severely eroded effigy, which is likely from the early 14th century.
