Description

This building is a barn and cowhouse range that was likely constructed in the late 17th century or early 18th century. It is made of stone and features a slate and corrugated iron roof, with weatherboarding over square panel framing on both sides. The structure consists of seven bays, with a cross winnowing floor located in the third bay from one end, and full height boarded doors. There is timber framing in bays four and five, but only on the yard side for one bay. A secondary door leads to the yard in bay six, and there is a double height ventilation slot in the southern bay. A high-level loading door for the loft is situated in the gable facing the road.

At the eastern end, there is a rubble stone cowhouse with a corrugated asbestos roof that is hipped into the main barn. This cowhouse features one high-set ventilation dormer, four boarded stable doors with timber lintels leading to the yard, and one door providing access to the loft above.

The barn's roof is constructed with tie beams and raking struts connecting to the principal rafters, which are tenoned at the apex and notched for the ridge. It has three tiers of purlins. The cowhouse contains three double stalls with a feeding walk and a hay loft above.
