Barn. Probably C18 with later alterations. Red cob on tall
footings of coursed red sandstone rubble footings, rebuilt
sections and additions of red sandstone rubble or
weatherborded timber-framing; Roman tile roof and
corrugated-iron roofs to outshuts.
PLAN: Former threshing barn facing south-east towards Home
Farmhouse (qv). Its north-east end is terraced into the
hillslope. Central opposing doorways to the threshing floor.
Secondary flooring and secondary outshuts on front, either
side of doorway.
EXTERIOR: Lofted barn. Central front doorway now contains
small diagonal plank doorway with window alongside and hatch
above, all in the blocking of original full-height doorway. To
right a lean-to stable and to left a former cowhouse which
used to be open-fronted, 3 bays on circular piers, but is now
blocked with stone rubble. Haylofts of cowhouse and stable
with continuous loading platform over central doorway. Roof is
half-hipped both ends. Right (north-east) end has large
loading hatch doorway to loft from terrace. Left (south-west)
end has small doorway and loading hatch to loft. Rear wall has
been extensively rebuilt with C20 concrete blocks.
INTERIOR: Plain carpentry detail. It appears that the
south-west end was floored before the threshing floor and
north-east end. Roof replaced in C20.
This barn and its associated farmbuildings form part of an
exceptionally attractive group of listed buildings in an
unspoilt village and the adjoining Cockington Park.
