Building record 1965/5/3 - Barn at Dairy Farm

{1} A two-storey structure built from coursed limestone rubble and a slate roof. The north elevation which faces onto the eastern end of St. Andrew’s Lane has a number of slit vents and small rectangular openings with wooden frames . The east facing elevation consists of a flat gable end with a hayloft door at first floor level and a single blocked doorway in the south corner. The west facing elevation is partially blocked by the later Building 1 which butts against it. The south facing elevation has a full-height sliding door on the east side with two doors and two first floor openings . The main doorway has been modified as modern brick pillars now support the wooden lintel.

Inside the main part of the barn is of full height with a mezzanine type floor to the west and a separate ground and first floor at the far west end of the building . The roof timbers appear to be of mid to late 19th century origin. The mezzanine floor leads to a wooden door through to the first floor of the western room. Much of the floor in this room is missing. The door appears to be reused and has handmade gate hinges and a wooden lock plate. The ground floor room below this is a plain room but the timbers supporting the first floor appear to be reused
