Description
This is a threshing barn located approximately 55 metres north of Owston Hall, dating from the mid to late 18th century. It is constructed of brick and has a pantile roof. The barn is rectangular in shape and features a central through waggon entrance, forming the north side of a courtyard adjacent to Owston Hall.
On the south side, there are pilaster strips flanking the full-height waggon entrance, which is beneath a timber lintel and was boarded up at the time of the last survey. To the left of the entrance, there is a single blocked breather slit, a boarded door beneath a timber lintel, and a glazed hatch to the left. A 20th-century lean-to is located to the right. Above the entrance, there are three blocked breather slits on each side, with a single three-light lapped-glass window to the left. The eaves cornice is stepped and dentilled, and the raised gables feature tumbled-in brick with shaped stone kneelers on the right gable.
On the north side, the waggon entrance has two tiers of double board doors with strip hinges beneath a timber lintel. To the left, there are two tiers of breather slits and an inserted 20th-century ground-floor door. To the right, there are two similar breathers, a single small hatch, and two blocked openings on the ground floor, along with three breathers, a pitching hatch with board doors, and a small blocked opening above. The west gable end has four tiers of breather slits, an inserted ground-floor four-pane window, and a wooden staircase leading to a first-floor door.
The barn may have been altered for use in the hemp and flax trade, similar to the adjoining ranges, which are not included in the listing.
