Barn And Attached Range Immediately North West Of Alveston Hill Farmhouse

The barn and attached range of farm buildings, located immediately north-west of Alveston Hill Farmhouse, were built after the enclosure of 1772 and before the deed of 1797. Constructed from brick with a tile roof, the buildings are arranged in an L-plan. The barn features eight bays and includes two threshing floors, with a long lower range extending from the west end of the south side. The north side has two entrances for the threshing floors, which have 20th-century doors, while the south side has similar entrances along with two ventilation panels in between. The right end of the south side includes a segmental-headed stable entrance, a window, and a pitching hole. The south range has a covered cartway adjacent to the barn and several entrances on the east side. Inside, there are brick piers supporting tie beams and collar trusses, which feature raking queen struts, clasped purlins, and halved and crossed ends. The south range also has brick partition walls and trusses similar to those in the barn. This building is part of an interesting example of an enclosure farmstead.
