GV II

Farm buildings, one of which may originally have been a house. C16 and C17 much
altered in C19 and C20. Stone rubble walls with granite dressings. Gable ended
slate roof.
L-shaped plan with a long rectangular main range which judging from its wide granite
arches and slits was always a barn. Projecting from the front left is a smaller
fully 2-storey building which judging from the quality of its doorway may originally
have had some domestic function. The bonding of this building into the barn
suggests that it is the earlier.
Barn is single storey with loft, wing is 2 storeys. The barn has an asymmetrical
front with a gable at the centre over a tall wide granite 4-centred arch with roll
moulding. To either side are granite ashlar buttresses. To the right of this are
blocked slits with a later inserted window and doorway. To the left of the central
gable is a later doorway and window on the first and ground floors beyond which is
another 4-centre granite roll moulded arch not as large as the central one but still
fairly wide. The wing projects to its left and has on its gable end a chamfered
granite slit at the top and blocked single light mullion below with a later window
to the right. On the outer face of the wing at the centre is a C16 moulded granite
4-centred arch - more appropriate to a house than farm building, although it is
possible that it has been re-used. Later windows have been inserted to either side
on both floors. Where this wing meets the gable end of the barn it is apparent that
the barn has been butted up to it. On its gable end the barn has 3 granite framed
slits and an inserted doorway below. Internally no original features are evident
and the internal plan has been altered.
