Description
The barn at Court Farm is a substantial corn barn built from roughly coursed local limestone rubble, featuring a renewed Welsh slate roof and high gable parapets. It has an unusual 4-centred arch barn door opening at the center, which is constructed with voussoirs. The rear opening of the barn is blocked, and there are slit ventilators, including three on each gable. To the left of the doors, there is a 4-pane window and a loft door above, both framed with brick jambs. Additionally, there is a blocked door near the battered left gable end. Other windows are being added, and there are roof-lights on both slopes of the renewed roof. The barn has a long low range that steps down to the south.
Inside, the barn is a lofty 7-bay structure with a central threshing floor. When it was listed in 1992, it featured largely original collared roof trusses, although the lower collars had been replaced or added with metal bolts, and it had three tiers of purlins. The barn was re-roofed in 2003, reusing the apparently 18th-century main timbers, but all the ties and collars are now bolted. At the time of inspection in September 2003, the tallet for the hayloft was still present at the south end, but the barn was in the process of being converted.
