Description
The barn at Alders Farm is a structure likely built in the early 18th century, although it includes a datestone from the late 17th century. It is constructed from roughly coursed sandstone rubble and features a stone flagged roof. The barn consists of four bays, with a wide entrance to the former threshing floor on the right and a single window next to it. There is a narrow doorway at the rear, which is opposed to the entrance. On the right side, there are sliding doors and a three-light window, which are probably late 19th or early 20th century additions, along with two blocked doorways further along. Above, there are three small loft lights with wooden shutters. Inside, the barn has a heavy timber roof structure supported by queen strut trusses and rough purlins.
