Description
The building is a large 18th-century barn with an attached smaller hay barn located at Hoaldalbert. It is constructed of uncoursed rubble stone and features a corrugated metal roof. The main barn has large opposing doorways that lead to a central threshing floor, with a horizontally boarded door-head. Boarded barn doors are preserved on the west side only. On the west side, there are square openings beneath the eaves flanking the central doorways. The ground floor on the right side includes a slatted ventilation opening with a segmental arched head, made up of 12 tall, closely spaced wooden slats.
The east long side faces the farmyard, where there is a large segmental arched opening with thin stone voussoirs, which has been blocked by a corrugated metal sheet. On the north gable, the ground floor features a central 5-light diamond mullion window, which is partly decayed, and plank and batten doorways leading to a former cowhouse on either side. The first floor has a blocked opening, and in the gable head, there is a 4-light mullion window, which is partly obscured by the roof of the hay barn.
The attached 19th-century hay barn consists of four bays and includes two kingpost trusses and a single queen post truss, supported by tall diagonally-braced posts. The older posts are square-section, while 20th-century replacements are round. A low stone wall encloses the base of the hay barn. The corn barn has five bays, with roof trusses featuring tie beams and collars, thin queen posts, and two tiers of purlins. The soffits of the tie beams are supported by tall raking struts that rise from corbelled wooden blocks set into the side walls of the barn.
