Barn 22 Metres to Rear of Higher House Farmhouse

This barn, located 22 meters behind Higher House Farmhouse, dates from the late 16th century, with additions around 1700 and some alterations in the 20th century. It features a combination of timber framing with brick nogging and sections built of English garden wall bond brick on a stone plinth. The roof is covered with Kerridge stone-slate and has a stone ridge, and the barn has an L-shaped plan.

The north range consists of a four-bay barn with walls made of regular small timber frames and angle bracing at the wall plate. The gables include circular brick pitchholes, and there is a large cart entrance on the south face. Inside, the roof trusses have an angle-braced tiebeam supported by two queen posts and a collar, with lower purlins that are windbraced.

The east range is constructed of brick with stone quoins and features an external staircase at the south end, which leads to a gable that has a six-hole pigeon cote. At the rear, there are three windows with brick hood moulds, one of which retains a surviving mullion. The front openings have been altered, and inside, the roof trusses consist of a tiebeam with two pairs of diagonal struts.
