To the right (west) the building is in use as a lofted farmbuilding, the left (east) end has been converted to a cottage. Exterior: 2 storey cottage, lofted farmbuilding. The farmbuilding has a large hollow-chamfered doorway. Attached to the right return a large moulded granite jamb is all that survives of what was probably a granite archway. Interior: Cottage not inspected. The farmbuilding has a roof of jointed cruck construction. Important to the setting of Place Barton and part of the perimeter of the site.
