History

The farm barn is dated 1850, the other buildings appear to be of a similar date.

Exterior

Built of well laid rubble stonework, with slated roofs. The buildings consist of a barn and stable range forming the NW side of the yard, attached to a lower cowhouse range on the NE side, and a detached carthouse, separately listed, closing the yard on the SE side. The SW side is formed by later farm buildings. The barn range has a stable at the SW end, with stable door and window, and a similar sized stable or loose box adjacent, before the 3-bay barn. This has tall doors facing into the yard with a high set segmental arch of stone voussoirs and regulating course, a date stone reading 1850 over, and has 2 slit ventilation openings each side. A small winnowing door is placed opposite the main doors, now opening into modern farm buildings. The NE cowhouse range has a 3-bay cowhouse, a single bay store room and a further 3-bay cowhouse, each having central doors, and interconnecting doors at the rear. An added rendered building has been built in the angle at a later date.

Interior

The barn range has tensioned shouldered king-post trusses with angled struts to the principal rafters carrying two tiers of purlins. Trusses to the cowhouse range are similar. Earth floors but the threshing floor is flagged.
