Barn To Rear Of Montgomery House

SK 13 NW PARISH OF SOMERSAL HERBERT CHURCH LANE 1/34 (North Side) 25.10.79 Barn to rear of Montgomery House (formerly listed as Barn to rear of Cottage Farm) GV II

Barn, probably built as a barn and cottage. C16, early C17 and C18. Timber framed with brick infil. Stone plinth, plain tile roof with one brick ridge stack. Box framed. North elevation with exposed box framing with two pairs of diagonal braces. Central doorway with plank door. To the right two 2-light C20 wooden casement windows with diamond leaded lights. This bay is probably the earliest part of the building as it-stands on a stone plinth. The quality of the joinery suggests it was for domestic use. To the left of the doorway is one similar 2-light window. This bay appears to have been added as a separate structure in the early C17 and the two later linked together as the timbers between these two bays are all re-used. Extended to west in C18. South elevation encased in brick. Segmental arched windows with C20 wooden casements with diamond lights. Segmental arched cart entrance to left. The interior has three box framed cross walls.
