Barn North East Of Common Farmhouse

This is an early 19th-century barn, incorporating elements from the 17th century. It was originally used as a barn with byre, stable, and dovecote. The barn is a single storey with a loft, and has five truss bays. It is constructed of red brick in both Flemish and English Garden Wall Bonds, with a slate roof.

The east elevation, facing Willington Lane, features a projecting band of brick three courses deep, rising above the segmental arch of a blocked carriageway opening. This elevation is in Flemish Bond and has six groups of air vents, arranged in a diamond pattern at loft level, and three above a door lower down. The south gable-end, also in Flemish Bond, has six projecting courses of brick, with dove entry holes above, a pitch hole door, and a diamond-shaped stone plaque set into the gable. Both gables are finished with stone copings and ogee kneelers. The west elevation, facing the farmhouse, is in English Garden Wall Bond and includes two square pitch holes with doors, three single boarded doors, one double boarded door – all fitted with strap hinges – and a single hopper light window. The air vents are arranged in diamond and cross shapes. The roof is covered with large slates and has a stone ridge.

Inside, the roof trusses are varied; they include collar trusses with three and four vertical posts, a strutted truss, and a King Post truss with purlin struts. The trusses support a ridge tree and a single line of purlins with wind braces.

The brick and stone walls surrounding the farmyard and connecting the buildings have stone copings.
