Plan and exterior description: tall threshing barn facing north-west. Tile original
front doorway is right (south-west) of centre and is flanked by short projecting
midstrey walls. It and the opposing rear doorway are now blocked. The present
doorway has been knocked through the front left of centre between pair of secondary
cob store rooms. Roof is hipped both ends.
Interior: is open to the 6-bay roof. The left 2 trusses are original side-pegged

attractive group of listed farm buildings in front of Wallon House (q.v).
