(3) The Barn of Riber Hall is a Grade II 17th century structure. It is a long single-storeyed range constructed from stone with stone gabled ends and generally old stone tiles, but also some asbestos sheeting and slates. (4) Riber Hall is a two-storeyed early 17th century hall of two storeys with attics. It has low mullioned windows and gables and has been divided into two properties since 1724. It has a cross wing plan with a balancing gabled wing at the north-east end, a good main staircase and ornamental plasterwork within. There are engraved stone gate-piers with ball-head finials to semi-circular steps within the stone garden wall. To the north-east of the hall is a 17th century stone barn, single storey with plain lights and a chamfered square-headed entrance, mostly with old stone tiles. There is another, unlisted, 18th century barn north-west of the hall. (5, 6) The present hall at Riber was built in 1661. At least that is the date set low down on the south-west gabled projection, and indeed, this appears to be that of the new build. The remainder of the house must be quite a generation earlier. (7) Vernacular building with south west wing basement door dated to 1661. (8)
