Description
The barn at Brookside Farm is a late 18th-century corn barn that was partly adapted in the 19th century for use as a shippon. It features a rubble sandstone plinth and walls made of handmade purple-red bricks in Flemish bond, topped with an asbestos roof, stone ridge, and stone-coped gables. The building has a two-storey, asymmetrical front with four bays and an entrance beneath a wooden lintel. There are four lines of ventilation slots, some of which are blocked, and elliptical, bullnosed brick pitch holes in the gables. Additionally, there are some rectangular 19th-century openings under stone lintels that indicate the change of use. Inside, the barn has three massive queen-post roof trusses and some unsawn purlins. At the rear, there are two short, contemporary wings that extend at right angles. The barn is listed for its group value only.
