Description

This is a seven-bay corn barn and attached stable block. Constructed from coursed squared rubble masonry, the barn likely dates to the 16th century, with a stable block adjoining it to the south. The roof is steeply pitched and covered in asbestos, replacing what was probably a stone tile covering.

The barn’s eastern facade features a large, two-centred arch doorway with stone voussoirs and a segmental inner arch. This is flanked by blocked vent slits, one of which has been adapted for a belt or drive shaft. Three buttresses have been added to the storage bay on the right side, with some repairs at eaves level. A former vent slit in the north gable's apex has been enlarged into a loading door. Putlog holes are left open for ventilation. A 19th-century lean-to stone porch with a cambered arch has been added, with an original, lower doorway immediately behind it. A later doorway cut into a stone staircase is located on the extreme right, incorporating a re-used three-centred arch doorway. A later cowhouse is situated to the left of the porch.

The stable block’s main elevation, facing west towards Llanmihangel Place, includes two blocked windows on the first floor. The left window retains a three-light mullioned window with a returned label. A doorway is set slightly lower on the extreme right, with a four-centred arch and chamfered reveal. An external stone staircase is present, with the jamb on the left side replaced. A former window is visible to the left, accompanied by a voussoir relieving arch and returned label.

The barn retains a fine roof structure, featuring chamfered through-purlin collared trusses with angled feet to the principals. There are tie beams to the trusses over the threshing floor with chamfered soffits, along with original purlins and most rafters. A vent in the south gable was originally blocked, but a doorway has been cut to the stable below. A 19th-century loft was inserted into the storage bay. The barn’s central threshing floor is flanked by symmetrical storage bays and opposing doorways.

Inside the stable, the ground floor was remodelled in the later 19th century. Original moulded corbels supported the beams. Stalls formerly lined the rear wall and the floor was cobbled, with a central drain. The loft ceiling over the first floor has a stop-chamfered beam, with the centre beam carried on a lintel spanning a window opening. There are no joist sockets, suggesting a former heavy plank floor to the attic loft. The roof features chamfered, through-purlin, collared trusses with angled feet resting on a wall plate, with original purlins and rafters. Evidence suggests calico sheetings were once used.
