Description
This is a long range of buildings comprising a barn at the southern end, a stable with a loft, and a narrower, later stable with a malthouse at the northern end. The structure is built of rubble limestone and roofed with slate.
The west-facing barn has a full-height wagon bay doorway, though the original lintel or arch is missing. This is flanked by infilled doorways with Tudor heads, and originally flanking these doorways were two-light Tudor-headed windows with hood moulds; these are now infilled and the mullions have been removed. Loft openings are visible beneath the eaves on either side of the wagon bay. To the left (north) is a lean-to, likely a workshop, with a central, segmental-headed doorway and boarded door. To the left of the lean-to is a stone stairway leading to boarded double doors. The stable beyond has boarded doors on either side, with narrower, segmental-headed vents above. To the right of centre is a wider former doorway, now blocked and converted into a window. The added stable and malthouse is set back at the northern end and has gablets on each face. The lower storey has a tall doorway to the right, incorporating a boarded stable door and a boarded vent. A narrow breather is set into the gablet above, with a similar breather present on the northern end wall.
Behind the main elevation, the added stable and malthouse is again set back, and features external stone steps leading to a boarded door under a segmental head. To the left of the steps is an infilled doorway. The stable has two loft openings beneath the eaves, boarded up on the right. Below are a wide, segmental-headed doorway to the left (leading to a former cart shed), an infilled former doorway with a brick segmental head in the centre, and a narrower former doorway to the right, now infilled to create a shuttered window. To the left of centre is a tall, narrow ventilation slit with brick infill. Above this are small, inserted bearing boxes which previously housed line-shafting powered by a portable engine. The barn has a shallow, added lean-to porch to the cart passage, constructed of coursed stone, with small ventilation slits at low level immediately alongside; the ventilation slit on the right is incorporated into the infill of a blocked Tudor-headed doorway. Further tall, narrow ventilation slits are located upper right and left.
A small lean-to is added to the southern gable end.
A rubble-stone dividing wall separates the barn from the stables and was the northern gable end of the original building. In the southern gable end of the barn, the gable of an earlier, single-storey building is visible, with a blocked loft doorway within it. The Tudor-headed doorways in the west and east walls are aligned, suggesting a former cross passage. The roof of the barn is a five-bay structure with machine-sawn trusses and pegged collar beams. The wagon bay retains most of its flagstone flooring. The stables retain some original feeding troughs and cobbled floors. The upper storey of the malthouse has plastered floors and walls, and the roof is a king post design with raking struts, machine-sawn.
