Description

The Tithe Barn is a long rubble former corn barn that was converted around 1995 into two houses. It features a tall Roman-tiled roof, which was fully replaced in the same year, likely substituting a stone-slate roof that had been in place for at least 150 years. Both main elevations display distinctive triangular ventilators typical of south east Wales, along with some standard slit vents, some of which are blocked. The south west end of the barn was always separated off internally and retains an original timber door with diagonal boarding and contemporary iron hinges, which may still be in place. There are blocked windows on either side of the door, with one now opened, and a square opening in the gable wall above. The rear elevation was not visible during the recent survey, and its description comes from a listing made in 1993.

The interior was not available for inspection at the time of the survey, but the conversion into two houses included the insertion of a floor. It is noted that this section of the barn was originally floored in part, and the roof structure was entirely replaced during the conversion around 1995.
