Barn & stables to south-east of Gosforth Hall

G.V.
II

Ramp barn and adjoining stables. Possibly contemporary with Hall (c1658) built for Robert and Isabel Copley but 1658 date (with initials R.C.) appears on re-used lintel over door on south elevation suggesting barn may be later (C18?). Coursed, squared rubble with quoins and chamfered eaves. Re-laid graduated slate roof to barn has stone ridge. Two storeys.

South elevation: four plank doors and three windows to ground floor with central plank winnowing door and vent slits above. Wagon entrance to centre rear in gabled porch up ramp; single-storey stable block, adjoining ro right, has four plank doors and some blocked openings. Chamfered surround to ground floor door at right-hand end of barn. C20 lean-to against north and east walls not of interest. Moulded copings, and ball finials to roof apex and kneelers of barn.
