GV II

Barn and adjoining horse-engine house. Mid to late C19, with some minor C20
alterations. Uncoursed stone rubble with gable-ended Welsh-slate roof. Engine house
of stone rubble and cob walls and gable-ended roof with late C20 covering.
Plan: Barn aligned approximately north-east/south-west, facing farmyard to south-
east. Opposed central court entrances and square-ended horse-engine house projecting
to front at the right-hand end, with 3-bay open left-hand side (partly blocked in the
late C20).
Exterior: The cart entrances have pairs of large plank doors (one 2-leaf) with wooden
lintels. The south-west entrance has a shallow porch with short flanking stone walls
and lean-to slate roof. The formerly open left-hand side of the engine house was
partly blocked in the late C20 with 2-light wooden casements inserted in the end bays
but with square piers flanking the still open centre bay.
Interior: C19 five-bay barn roof with trusses consisting of straight principals and
lap-jointed collars; and 2 pairs of purlins. C20 roof to engine house.
The barn and horse-engine house form part of a farmstead group which also includes
Southwood Farmhouse and the adjoining farmbuildings (q.q.v.).
