Building record 3084/0/18 - Barn, stable and granary approx. 10m W of Shotley Farmhouse

A late 17th century to mid 18th century barn, stable and granary located 10 metres west of Shotley Farmhouse, on the southern side of Wakerley Road, at the eastern side of Harringworth village. The buildings are all detached and form a long range running parallel with the road. They are constructed of squared coursed limestone and lias with double pitched Collyweston slate, Welsh slate and concrete tile roofs. The buildings are clearly divided into three, with the central stable roof being lower than the flanking barn and granary. The left bay is the granary and has two small casement windows to the road and an external stone staircase to the left return. The centre bay is the stable that has a door to the far left with three casement windows to the right. The right bay is the barn and has a central cart entrance under a wooden lintel that is flanked by slit and triangular vents.
