Description

This is a barn located at Beech Farm, dating from the late 18th century. It is constructed from hammer-dressed stone and features a stone slate roof. The barn has ten bays, and its east elevation includes two full segmental-arched cart entries. The left entry has skewbacks and is pitched at a steeper angle. There are three rows of arrow-slit ventilators on this side. The roof is hipped and partly in ruins on the left. The rear of the barn has two cart entries with skewbacks, although one is obscured by a later lean-to that is not of special interest. The right-hand return, which faces the street, also has arrow-slit ventilators.

Inside, the barn features an oak queen-post roof with fish-bone side struts.
