Barn and cow house at Middle Nantserth

A barn with higher cow house in line on the E side. The barn is timber-framed on a rubble-stone plinth, the cow house is rubble stone, both under corrugated iron roofs. On the S side, formerly facing the yard but subsequently enclosed in a larger stock shed, the timber framing of the barn is exposed and there is a single wide doorway. A rubble-stone shed has been added against the L gable end. At the R end of the barn is a boarded door to the byng, set back from the line of the cow house, which has 2 lintelled doorways and a loft opening. A vertical joint shows that the cow house was extended on the E side in the later C19 and has brick quoins. The E gable end, facing the yard, has a split boarded door in a brick surround, and weatherboarded gable with split boarded loft door. An outshut on the R side, formerly a root store, has a door with brick jambs. Behind it is an outshut formerly housing calves. The rear of the barn is corrugated iron.

The 4-bay barn retains 3 unevenly spaced cruck trusses. The outer cruck trusses appear to have been framed and infilled, suggesting that they once constituted a 2-bay barn.
