Barn And Cattle Shed About 140 Metres North East Of Coldgreen Farmhouse

This is a Dutch barn with an integral cattle shed, dating from the early to mid 19th century, located about 140 meters northeast of Coldgreen Farmhouse. It is constructed of red brick in English garden wall bond and features a weatherboarded timber frame. The roof is covered with treble Roman pantiles, has gabled ends, and a catslide over the cattle shed. The barn consists of seven bays and is open on the northwest side.

On the southeast side, there is a cart entrance in the third bay from the northeast end, and an open-fronted cattle shelter against bays four to seven, which includes an axial feeding passage behind the mangers at the back. The end bays of the barn have later inserted loft floors. The northwest front is open with slender timber posts resting on stone plinths, and the lofts of the end bays are weatherboarded.

The southeast elevation, which faces the yard, features a cart entrance to the right of center, with weatherboarding on both sides. The main roof extends down as a catslide over a four-bay cattle shed supported by timber posts. There is a brick return doorway on the southwest side leading to the feeding passage, which has a cambered arch and a plank door, along with a left hatch to the right and a triangular wooden dovecote hung at the end of the barn on the left.

Inside, the barn roof is supported by queen-post trusses with struts and trenched side purlins, while long straight braces rise from the arcade posts to the tie-beams. The cattle shed also retains its original roof structure, featuring tie-beam trusses with struts and trenched purlins, along with a wooden manger and a feeding passage behind it across the back of the cattle shed.
