Barn And Adjoining Outbuilding About 25 Yards North-West Of Winforton Court

A barn and adjoining outbuilding, dating to the 17th century, were converted in the late 20th century and are now used as a showroom. The barn is timber-framed with rendered infill set on a rubble base, covered by a slate roof. It has five framed bays aligned east to west. The central bay originally housed a wagon bay with cart entries, which are now blocked. The framing consists of three rows of square panels from the sill to the wall-plate, with very short upper corner braces. The end trusses feature collar and tie-beams with three struts beneath the collar and a V-strut above. The south elevation has, in the outer bays, 20th-century casements with two leaded lights. The central bay has been infilled with vertical studding and contains a 4-light 20th-century mullioned and transomed window with leaded glass, and a 20th-century studded door with strap hinges and a shaped head. A plank door with weathered detailing is located at the west end. The interior was not inspected. An outbuilding adjoins the east gable end. It is partly of rubble and brick construction, partly timber-framed with brick infill, and has a machine-tiled roof. The outbuilding has three bays over two levels; the side elevations have one row of square panels at eaves level. The south elevation of the outbuilding contains two ground-floor 3-light casements and a 20th-century stable door.
