9/14 Barns adjoining
Manor House

II

Barns adjoining Manor House, with core of original Manor House. Earliest part
is probably late C16 bastle type house; date of 1632 with initials I.A. over
entrance may be contemporary with adjoining buildings to right; extensively
altered and extended to left in late C18, with inscription over entrance James &
Margaret Atkinson and date, which could be 1793, but now partly erased. Mixed
sandstone rubble walls, common graduated green slate roof. 2 storeys and
numerous bays, built on slope, so appears as single storey to rear. Central
bays are original house with extremely thick walls. Late C16 entrance has
chamfered red sandstone surround, chamfered and shaped lintel stone, with later
irregularly incised date and initials; slightly splayed jambs on inside, have 2
sets of drawbar holes. Walls appear to have been refaced in the late C18, so
all other original features are now hidden and replaced by slit vents. Rear
wall has been raised in height at 2 periods. Barn to left has entrances and
loft door with plain stone surrounds and slit vents. Rear has 2 large cart
entrances giving access to upper floor barn. Barn to right has large round
archway passage giving access to more recent house; 2 small windows above have
chamfered surrounds and holes for iron bars. Right is later entrance and
earlier filled upper floor entrance above; window to right is partly covered by
C19 single storey extension. Rear has similar windows above arch and large cart
entrance to upper floor barn to left. C20 cattle shed now covers original
farmyard; this and all other adjoining buildings are not included in listing. A
detached barn to the north-east is listed separately in Castle Carrock C.P.
Manor House, although dated 1786, was extensively altered in the 1860s and is
not listed.
