Barn range. Probably late C17 with c1700 addition and later additions and alterations including outshut to west and rebuilding of south end. Timber-framing and reddish-brown brick, on blue lias stone plinth and with plain-tile roof. PLAN: probably originally L-shaped on plan with the main range on a north-south axis, with shorter range at north end projecting to east; this north-south range appears to have been truncated to south; a timber-framed extension was added shortly after to the east end and further range with outshuts added to west and to rear, forming a T-shaped plan. EXTERIOR: main range at north end and east range have small square timber-framing. East range: opposing plank doors to north and south sides, 6-pane windows to south, and pitching doors to gable end. West end: plank door. Main range: opposing threshing doors to projecting range at north end where it abuts the subsidiary range, split plank doors; blocked breathers. Range to rear under catslide roof; range to west under half-hipped roof, otherwise gabled roofs. INTERIOR: main range has collar-and-tie-beam trusses with queen struts, purlins carried behind the principals and on level with the collar; wind braces. East range has 2 massive posts or studs supporting the bressumer and may have originally been open as a cart-shed. Manor Farmhouse (qv), Cart shed with Stable and Hayloft (qv), Stables (qv) and Barn Range form a good group of associated buildings.
