Description
This is a threshing barn with attached stable, dating from the first half of the 19th century. The building is constructed of red brick with plain clay tile roofs.
The barn and stables run north-south, with the slightly narrower stable range located to the north. A 20th-century shed projects at right angles from the eastern rear elevation of the barn; this shed is not included in the listing.
The stables are lower than the barn and have a front elevation of two wide bays. The front elevation features a wide doorway on the left and a shuttered window opening on the right, both with rebuilt segmental-arched heads incorporating a band of blue brick. The window opening has been slightly shortened. The rear of the stable range is blind and set back behind the barn, creating a narrower range. The barn is a continuous build with the stables and has large, slightly off-centre threshing doors to both elevations, set within segmental-arched openings. The threshing doors are 21st-century replacements, although they retain earlier strap hinges. The long elevations of the barn have ventilation holes arranged in a diamond pattern, with eight holes on each side.
The stable was originally divided into four boxes, with the remains of the timber dividing posts still visible in the brick-sett laid floor, which also includes a drainage channel. The rear wall retains timber mangers above a brick plinth. The roof trusses are of king-post form, featuring single ledged purlins and iron king ties. Common rafters meet at a ridge plank. A door provides access from the stable to the barn.
The barn retains its cobbled threshing floor, with a rammed earth floor to the north and a concrete floor to the south. Brick piers extend a short distance into the barn on either side of the threshing floor. The northern bay is horizontally divided, while the rest of the barn is open to the roof. The roof trusses are formed from tie beams and principal rafters that rise only to the collar, which is tenoned into upright queen struts. A single tier of clasped purlins sits between these struts, and common rafters rest on the purlins, meeting at a ridge plank.
