Description
The building known as the Barn to the East of Bryn Mawr is an early 19th-century structure consisting of three bays that are positioned down a slope, with the lower end bays being storeyed. It is constructed of stone rubble on a plinth, featuring some dressed quoins and door jambs, slit ventilators throughout, a dentil eaves course, and a slate roof. The central bay has two opposing doors with part brick and part stone jambs, topped with distinctive depressed four-centred arch heads. There are two pitching openings that have cambered brick heads and plank shutters. The upper bay contains a split-plank door under a cambered brick head, while the lower bay features a wide split-plank door under an inserted flat yellow brick head.
Adjacent to the barn are the cowsheds and granary, which form a right angle with the barn. These structures are also early 19th-century and made of rubble stone, with a dentil eaves course and slate roof. The cowsheds have cambered brick heads above two ground floor doors; the right door has a depressed arch with some dressed stone jambs. There is a granary loft door located under the eaves, accessed by brick and concrete steps. A gable window is set under a cambered brick head, and there is a rear loft opening with later brick jambs. A rubble stone lean-to is present at the gable end, also with a slate roof.
The milking parlour, which was formerly stables, adjoins the cowsheds and dates from the 19th century. It is two storeys high, built of brick with a dentil eaves course and slate roof, featuring diamond-shaped perforated brick ventilators. Inside, there are two split plank doors, a loft pitching door, and a loft window.
Inside the barn, the roof structure may have been renewed and features two shouldered king-post trusses with strut braces and a cambered tie-beam. The bay partitions include a central post and two diagonal braces. The central bay has a granary tile floor, while the lower bay has a brick floor.
The interior of the cowsheds showcases a king post roof truss made from re-used timbers, and the cowshed ceiling incorporates a massive deep chamfered beam.
