Building record 3191/1/2 - Barn approx 30m west of Lodge Farmhouse

{1} Barn. Mid C18. Squared coursed ironstone, slate roof. 3 bays. Entrance to left of centre has wood lintel and double plank doors. Slit window to left. Coped gable ends with kneelers. Interior: Original tie beams and main rafters.

{2} A large three-bay mid C18 barn, converted late C20. Squared, coursed limestone, slate-covered gable roof, coped at each gable end. The cart entrance openings are unaltered and have inserted, timber-framed glazed panels and doors. There are C20 casement windows, doors and a small porch on the west elevation. Slit vents at north end of east and west elevation, and an inserted C20 door at the south end of the east elevation.
Interior: A mezzanine floor has been inserted. All of the fixtures and fittings are late C20, but the lower part of the roof trusses are apparent, comprising tie beams, purlins, (some wedged in place) and some exposed principal rafters. The barn has group value with the listed farmhouse to the west. To the north of the barn, there are a number of outbuildings, substantially altered in the late C19 and C20, with brick patching, concrete floors and softwood timber roof trusses. Although attached to the barn, they have no apparent special interest.
