Combination Farm Building at Hadnock Court

This is a combination farm building, constructed primarily in the early 19th century, with earlier elements incorporating a 17th-century roof structure. The building is situated on rising ground, forming a long, two-story range. It is built predominantly from local sandstone rubble, with 20th-century brick and concrete patching. The roof is a mix of Welsh slate with ridge tiles on the older west end, corrugated asbestos sheeting on the east end, and slate covering the central rear portion.

The main elevation features five windows, three doors, and three external stone stairs. The arrangement from left to right is window, door, window, door, single window, window, window, single window, window, door, single window. The upper floor has twelve windows and three plank doors, arranged as window, window, window, window, door, window, window, door, window, window, window, window, door, window, window. Most of the window joinery is 20th century. The first door on the ground floor is an early 19th-century double coach-house door with an elliptical head. A second door, originally similar, has been widened in the 20th century, retaining part of its elliptical head. The west return (older end) has a hipped gable with a modern garage opening on the ground floor and some timber framing above. The east return is a plain gable.

The rear elevation reveals older, more varied stonework, indicating that the lower section of the building was reconstructed in the early 19th century rather than built entirely new. The lower floor of the upper part was formerly used as cow houses and was subsequently heightened. The rear features a door, three slit vents, a small projection, and ten plain windows on the upper floor.

The interior ground floor has been extensively altered. The primary historical feature is a heavy-timbered cow house ceiling. The roof is in three sections, reflecting different periods of extension and changes in use. The first section is a 17th-century roof, encompassing four bays of queen strut trusses with collars supported by raking struts – appearing almost as upper crucks – suggesting a possible raising of the roof. Original timbers, including purlins and rafters, remain. The second section is a simpler 6-bay queen strut roof with two tiers of staggered purlins; this, along with the raising of the first section, likely dates to around 1700. The third section, over the coach-house, consists of a 5-bay, lighter softwood construction with sawn and bolted timbers.
