Farm buildings. Circa late C16 with C19 addition and alterations. Stone rubble walls.
Corrugated iron roof gabled at right-hand end and hipped at left-hand end. Long
rectangular plan. The buildings, all attached, are in 3 distinct blocks, the 2 smaller
outer end sections show early features and are probably contemporary while from the
evidence of straight joints the central section is later, probably C19, although it may
be a rebuild. Both early blocks have 1-room plan, their original function is unclear
but it might have been stabling and granary. The central section is a shippon and the
other 2 were also converted to this probably in C19. 2 storeys. Asymmetrical front
with original parts to left and right. The left-hand section has a depressed 2-centred
chamfered granite doorway on the ground floor flanked by a square granite framed light
to its right and a later window opening to its left. Above it is a loading doorway.
The central section has a doorway at the centre on both floors with 2 flanking windows
on the ground floor and slits with granite jambs on the 1st floor. The ground floor
openings have segmental brick arches. The right-hand section has a roundheaded
chamfered granite doorway to the right on the ground floor with a buttress to its left.
Beyond that is a 2-light chamfered granite mullion window. Above the window is a
chamfered granite doorway with cambered head with a granite framed slit to either side.
C20 lean-to built at the front to the right of centre. At the rear of the left-hand
section is a 2-light blocked granite mullion window partially obscured by the higher
ground level.
