Description
Seven-bay threshing barn with contiguous hay barn to the N and byre to the S. The threshing barn has a gabled wagon entrance porch, flanked by lean-tos. Constructed of rubble sandstone under a later corrugated asbestos roof covering. Wide, almost full-height entrance under a flat segmental arch with voussoirs. A string course runs across the gable at eaves height, above which is a ventilation slit, and in the apex an owl hole in a square stone panel.
The lean-to to the L has a corrugated iron roof with a planked door, while that to the R has a corrugated plastic roof, and a central shuttered window with a planked door to the L and a blocked door to the R. Above the lean-to roofs is a string course, at the same level as the eaves and the string course on the cross gable. The rear (W) of the threshing barn has double doors under a segmental head with voussoirs, flanked by a blocked window to the R and 2 ventilation strips to the N.
Abutting to the N is a 4-bay hay open-sided barn with almost full-height round headed openings. Constructed of rubble sandstone with stone dressings including voussoirs. Under a slate roof which is slightly lower than the threshing barn. The N gable end has 2 round headed openings, with 2 square openings in the gable with stone sills and wooden lintels. There is a ventilation slit in the apex. The range adjoining to the S also has a single storey lean-to in front. It has a central panelled door under wooden boarding, flanked by window openings with segmental heads and stone sills. The 2-light casement frames partially survive.
The porch has doorways to L and R into the lean-tos. Both are under timber lintels and high round relieving arches. The doorway into the threshing barn is under a segmental arch with voussoirs. The rear door of the barn is flanked by buttresses and the through-passage has a flagstone floor. The barn itself has a simple queen post roof. To the L (S), the timber framing of the loft survives; 3 cross beams, but no floor boards. The interior walls flanking the entrances have 2 long ventilation slits each, most of which are blocked. The N gable end has 3 ventilation slits, the bottoms of which are blocked and a further one in the gable apex. There is a square opening at a high level leading into the hay barn. It is under a high round relieving arch which cuts through the central ventilation slits, showing that the hay barn is a later addition.
