Barn Immediately North East Of Newhouse Farmhouse

This is a barn located immediately northeast of Newhouse Farmhouse, dating from the 17th century and extended in the 18th century. It features a weatherboarded timber frame that has been partly refaced and extended with limestone rubble. The roof is covered with plain tiles and has gabled ends.

The barn has a three-bay layout with a two-bay cowhouse and a loft extension. The southwest front has a stone rubble base with weatherboarding above. There are external stone steps to a high-level doorway, with loading doors on both sides, each fitted with plank doors. The cowhouse extension on the left has stone rubble to a higher level, featuring three doorways on the ground floor and two small windows above. A loading door is located in the southeast gable. The ground at the rear northwest is higher, and the northwest elevation includes a full-height double doorway to the left of center, with stone rubble on the right and weatherboarding below the eaves.

Inside, the three southeast bays contain four full cruck trusses, one of which is in the southeast gable end. These trusses have halved collars and tenoned or trenched purlins above, truncated above the purlins and augmented by a later collar. The northwest truss was originally the end wall and includes a tie, post, and rails. The front and back walls are timber-framed with large studs and tension braces. The two bays at the northwest end, added in the 18th century, feature a tie-beam and queen strut truss, a first floor, and remnants of stalls and a rear feeding passage on the ground floor.
