Date Listed: 7th November 1985.
Two ranges of farmbuildings forming the north and west sides of the farmyard to the north of Downhouse. Early 19th century and probably contemporary with the farmhouse that forms the south side of the farmyard. Stone rubble formerly limewashed, with corrugated asbestos roofs. The range on the west side consists of a shippon with loft over, the range on the north side consists of a threshing barn. Entrances to the shippon have flat stone arches. The threshing barn has a large entrance under a slate canopy carried on timber brackets, and pigeon holes with flight ledges. An unusually small farmyard associated with a contemporary farmhouse and forming part of an attractive group. Other details: LBS No. 92442.
