Old Barn

The Old Barn is a 17th-century barn that was converted into a shop in the 1970s. It features a painted timber frame set on a stone rubble plinth, with painted render infill panels. The roof is covered with plain tiles and includes 20th-century roof lights on the east pitch. The building has a plan consisting of three framed bays aligned with the street.

The exterior is two storeys high. The street front displays posts and rails that create square panelling three panels high, with close studding and straight tension braces at each end. There are two pairs of glazed infill panels on the upper storey, and a central 20th-century glazed door flanked by glazed infill panels below.

On the north gable end, there is a cambered tie beam beneath the collar, with three vertical struts and raking struts forming a Y shape. The posts and rails under the tie beam also create square panels, with the lowest panels close-studded and straight tension braces on each side. The upper level features three glazed infill panels.

The rear wall frame consists of posts and rails forming square panelling three panels high, with the lowest tier of panels close-studded. There is a straight tension brace on the left side, three glazed infill panels, and a boarded door at the upper level. The ground floor has a central 20th-century glazed double door, a single glazed door to the left, and a multi-pane wood casement to the right. The south gable end has been rebuilt in brick.

Inside, the framing is exposed throughout the building. The roof has a twin trenched-purlin design with two internal twin raking-strut trusses.
