The north yard linhays date to the 1860s or 1870s and were built as an L-plan range with outer cob walls. The east linhay is nine-bays long and the north is nine-bays with a corner bay in the north-east, where the two meet. Two south bays have been enclosed in the 20th century but the remainder are open. The front elevations of both linhays have open tallets (open-fronted hay lofts) and bays divided by quarried granite posts, most of which survive (two have been replaced by timber posts and concrete blocks).
The south yard linhays are also in an L-plan but are older in date and can be seen on the Tithe Map of approximately 1840. The south range pre-dates the east range and is seven bays long (east is eight bays). Partly enclosed at ground level with 20th century boarded cladding, corrugated iron, plank doors etc, but were originally open at the front.
