Description

A long range consisting of a barn at the S end, a stable with loft, and a narrower added stable with malthouse at the N end. Of rubble limestone with slate roof. Facing W the barn has a full-height wagon bay doorway (the original lintel or arch now missing) flanked by infilled C16 doorways with Tudor heads. Flanking these doorways are former 2-light Tudor-headed windows with hood moulds, now infilled and the mullions missing. Flanking the wagon bay doorway are loft openings beneath the eaves. Further L (N) is an added lean-to (probably a workshop) with a central segmental headed doorway with boarded door, and L of lean-to is a stone stairway leading to boarded double doors. The stable beyond has boarded doors R and L with narrower segmental-headed vents above. To the R of centre is a wider former doorway, now blocked to form a window. The added stable and malthouse is set back at the L end has gablets to each face. In the lower storey is a tall doorway to R incorporating a boarded stable door and boarded vent. In the gablet above is a narrow breather. The N end wall has a similar breather.

Behind, the added stable and malthouse is again set back from the main elevation, and has external stone steps to a boarded door under a segmental head. To the L of the steps is an infilled doorway. The stable has 2 loft openings beneath the eaves (boarded up to R). Below are a wide segmental-headed doorway to the L (leading to a former cart shed), an infilled former doorway under a brick segmental head to the centre, and a narrower former doorway to the R under a segmental head, now infilled to form a shuttered window. To the L of centre is a tall narrow ventilation slit with brick infill, above which are small inserted bearing boxes, which formerly housed line-shafting transmitting power from a portable engine. The barn has a shallow added lean-to porch to the cart passage of coursed stone, immediately flanking which are small ventilation slits at low level. The ventilation slit on the R side is within the infill of a blocked Tudor-headed doorway. Additional tall narrow ventilation slits upper R and L.

The S gable end has a lean-to added.

A rubble-stone dividing wall separates barn from stable and was the N gable end of the original building. In the S gable end of the barn the gable of the earlier single-storey building is visible with a blocked loft doorway within it. The Tudor-headed doorways in the W and E walls are aligned to suggest a former cross passage. Five-bay roof has machine-sawn trusses with pegged collar beams. The wagon bay retains most of its flagstones. The stables retain some feeding troughs and cobbled floors.

The upper storey of the malthouse has plastered floor and walls. The roof consists of a king post with raking struts, machine-sawn.
