Pair of haybarns: late eighteenth century but re-using earlier timbers, some later alterations. English garden wall bond red brick, one with Kerridge stone-slate roof, one with Welsh slate. Two rectangular three-bay barns stand side by side and joined by continuous timber and corrugated iron hood. The west ends have large two-centred brick arches and the sides have T-shaped brick piers. East end walls were solid and had diamond pattern ventilation holes. South front now solid and buttressed. One complete timber truss from seventeenth century building re-used.

The floor has a massive flag c.2.5m square and this and other stones may relate to when the farm had a tanyard. Good examples of their type.
