Range of farm buildings immediately south-east of Combestone Farmhouse. Shippon and adjoining pigsties, store and cowshed. Circa C18. Granite rubble with large granite quoins. Corrugated iron hipped roof. Shippon with loft above and a row of pigsties on outer south-west side with a slated lean-to roof. On north-east side facing farmyard, cattle shelters or linhays originally open fronted but now blocked left hand with monolithic granite posts. At higher north-west gable end a loft doorway over slit opening with a dooway to right. At lower south-east end a blocked opening at centre with flat stone arch, a very small square opening to left and blocked opening at base of wall, probably the drain. Interior has drain running down off-centre of stone floor and C19 pegged soft-wood roof. Adjoining at obtuse angle at lower south-east end a long narrow building with corrugated iron gable- ended roof, probably a cowshed with a loft over. One small square loft loading doorway at centre of outer south west side. 2 small square window openings on front facing yard and widened doorway opening on left for vehicles, with timber lintels. Possibly built as a detached shippon when the lower end of the house was demolished.
