GV II

Farm building set into the hillside at the top of the farmyard in the manner of a
bank barn. C18 or C19. Granite rubble with hipped roof of corrugated iron. 2
storeys. Ground storey facing yard has wide centre doorway with segmental and
having well cut voussoirs and raised keystone. Within the doorway is an open-
fronted lobby having 3 doorways leading off it; 2 of these have plank doors with
wrought iron hinges and the third (to left, leading to dairy) has thick wide planks
alternating with recessed narrow ones. To left of outer arch is a 2-light wood-
mullioned window lighting the dairy. No windows in second storey, apart from a
segmental-headed owl hole. Internally the whole building has an upper floor
composed of heavy granite lintels, these being set at a higher level over the
lobby. The left-hand ground storey room, the dairy, has along the gable wall a
granite trough set on granite posts; this is fed by spring water entering the
building through a pipe at the upper end and empties out through the lower wall to
an external granite trough, from which it runs down a drain to a reservoir under
the north-east range of farm buildings. Roof rebuilt in C20. The building is part
of a very good farmyard layout, of which 2 other buildings and the manure pit are
listed.
