Agricultural Complex at Garn

Range of 2 long barns at right-angles to one another, with a former carthouse block adjoining at the N corner, thereby forming an overall Z-plan. Of limestone rubble construction with slated roofs, except the primary SW range which has a modern corrugated metal roof. This section has a kneelered rubble gable parapet to the SE gable. Irregular openings, with a boarded entrance to the L and a vertically-slatted window to its R. Beyond this are 3 further windows, the first 2 with modern glazing and the last slatted as before. The upper floor has 5 windows, all glazed, of which the third and fifth from the L have segmental arches. At the corner with the adjoining range is a long flight of stone steps ascending along the latter's length, which gives access to the upper loft via a boarded entrance. This breaks the eaves and has a gabled dormer with plain bargeboards.

The adjoining range has a large central barn entrance with tall 4-pane late C19 sash to the L; vent slit with further window beyond, the latter with 6-pane fixed modern glazing. To the R of the large entrance is a 2-part, 8-pane C19 window with a 12-pane sash above (lower section boarded). Tall boarded loading door beyond with a 6-pane window to the R of this. The end bay is a later addition and is recessed slightly from the main range, although it is continuously-roofed with it. This has a boarded door with a 3-part window to the R and a C19 12-pane sash above. Boarded loft door to the gable end, accessed via a wrap-around stone stair with metal rail; projecting chimney breast to the gable end. On the roof is a decorative wrought iron weather vane, the main section of which is date 1746; the rear section is a restoration dated 1982. Two large lean-to cart bays adjoin the rear of this range, together with a large C20 lean-to.

The carthouse block adjoins at the N corner and has a flight of stone steps leading up to a boarded loft door on its SE gable end. The NE side has 2 reduced cart bays with exposed timber lintels and boarded doors (brick and rubble infill). To the R is a window with vertical slatting and 3-pane upper section; beyond is a similar boarded door and window.

The primary (SW) barn has a 4-bay interior with low pegged collar trusses, probably of the 1740s. The second range has a 5-bay roof with reused, pegged tie-beam trusses with broad curved braces and a queen post truss at the SW end.
