New Low Barcus Close farmhouse

This farm stands on Barcusclose Lane, which runs east from Crookgate to Tanfield village. It's not the farm that the lane is named after; that stood a short way west along the lane and was demolished in the 1990's. The original, C19, Low Barcus was destroyed by fire in 1973 and this farm was built to replace it shortly afterwards. It was built in stone in a traditional manner and looks older than it actually is.
