Description

Originally a C19 weatherboarded barn which has been converted to domestic use. Originally a C19 weatherboarded barn which may have been originally associated with the Old Farmhouse complex, now converted to a domestic dwelling. Single storey with a steeply pitched gable roof laid in tiles, the ridgeline of which runs parallel with the carriageway. The base of the barn is constructed of stone with weatherboarding above. Despite its conversion to a domestic dwelling, the building maintains the simple clean outlines associated with utilitarian outbuildings. Window openings have been inserted into the elevation facing the road. The roof plane is uninterrupted by openings which helps to reinforce the buildings former utilitarian character. It is a visually prominent building located close to the road edge at the southern edge of the village. It forms part of a group of utilitarian outbuildings (which have been converted to domestic use) which reflect the former importance of agriculture as to the mainstay of the village’s economy. Local Heritage Asset in conservation area (1).
