Description

The barn east of Bradley Hall is a 17th-century structure that has undergone some alterations. It is built of coursed rubble with quoins, while the left side features coursed squared sandstone. The roof is made of stone flags on the left and corrugated asbestos on the right. The barn has two storeys and four bays. There are wood lintels over boarded doors in the two right bays, with wide-based sloping buttresses between and at the right end. Stone side steps lead to a first-floor boarded door under a wood lintel in the second bay. A chamfered stone surround frames a blocked horizontal window on the left, and there is a second blocked window behind the side steps. The right side of the first-floor door has block jambs or quoins. On the first floor, there are two square windows on the right. Inside, some beams are chamfered and many show large carpenter's marks. The roof features wide incurved principals with two levels of collars, clasped purlins on two levels, and a ridge tree on pegged, crossed principals.
