Barn, stable, cart-shed & peat store at Cwm Biga

Lofted range of random stone under a renewed slate roof. Barn to L with central raised entrance reached by steps, containing a single boarded door under a segmental brick head, flanked by ventilation slits. To its R is a stable with split doors under a concrete lintel; boarded loft hatch above. Further R is a cart-bay with double boarded doors under a timber lintel, immediately R of which is a large single door leading into the peat store. The range is weather-boarded above the cart-shed and peat-store doors, with a loft hatch above the former. Lean-to at W end clad in corrugated iron, with double end doors. Rear wall of barn is slightly inset and was timber-framed on a stone plinth. The lower part is now mainly rebuilt in breeze block, with weather-boarding above. Single door to threshing bay offset to R, and loft hatch to its L. Short single doorways to outer bays of barn, that to R with split doors. Large ventilated opening to peat store with timber slats.

The barn is 3-bay with pegged tie-beam trusses with angled struts. The W truss is of reused timbers, the principal rafters made from cruck blades; the N rafter is upside down and curves slightly outwards. Central threshing bay has planked partitions supported by vertical posts under the tie-beams and a wood planked floor. To the R of the barn is a pony stable with 2 stalls divided by an original boarded partition and with manger and hayrack; original cobbled and pitched stone floors. The peat store is open to the roof, the floor mainly of bare underlying rock. Full-height boarded partition to L, partly reconstructed.
