Barn C15 Yards To West Of Twelve Acres Farmhouse

This is a barn located approximately 15 yards to the west of Twelve Acres Farmhouse, dating from the early 17th century and altered since then. It is currently used as livestock pens and a storage building. The barn features a timber-framed structure with rendered infill and English garden wall bond brick, topped with a slate roof. Originally a single-storey building, it has been raised to two storeys.

The north front is constructed of 19th-century brick and consists of five bays, separated by pilaster buttresses and clasping buttresses at the corners. The central bay contains 20th-century double doors on the ground floor, with a cement lintel and a three-light cambered-headed casement window above. On either side, there are cambered-headed stable doors on the ground floor, accompanied by 20th-century cement-linted windows. Above each stable door, there are cambered-headed loft doors, with diamond pattern breathers on either side. To the right, there is a cambered-headed door with three diamond pattern breathers on the first floor, while the left side features a 20th-century sliding door with a cement lintel. There is a single diamond pattern breather to the right and three similar ones at the first-floor level. The left-hand reveal has clasping buttresses at the corners, with a stable door on the left and a 20th-century metal-framed window on the right. Above the centre, there is timber framing with two central loft doors, one above the other, and a lean-to on the left that has a cambered-headed door on the right and a 20th-century window on the left.

The rear of the barn has a central gabled projection with a cambered-headed door on the right and a loft door above it in the centre. The corners feature jowled posts, and the sides have small framing with angle braces. Lean-tos on either side each contain two stable doors.

Inside, there are four sets of base crucks that rise to the die with the principals, featuring ties, collars, and yokes with small framed infill. The rear wall, which backs onto the outshuts, has eight by three cells of small framing on either side of the central gabled projection, with middle posts in the lower two ranges of cells and angle braces supporting the top row. The roofs of the outshuts have ties with two angle braces each, and there is one jowled post on the left.
