Barn, Stables And Shelter Shed About 20 Yards North-West Of Orleton Court

The building consists of a barn, stables, and a shelter shed located about 20 yards north-west of Orleton Court. It dates from the mid-18th century, with some alterations made in the mid-19th century. The structure is made of brick and features dentilled eaves cornices and hipped plain tiled roofs, arranged in a U-plan.

The barn has six bays aligned north-east to south-west, forming the central range. It includes a wagon bay located second from the north-east end and an access archway second from the south-west end, both with opposed cart entries that have cambered heads. There are header ventilation courses throughout the barn, and the south-west end bay has a door and a loft opening in its south-east forward projection. Inside, the roof is supported by intermediate king-post trusses and collar and tie-beam trusses with raking struts.

The stables are located to the north-east of the barn and consist of roughly eight bays over two levels. The upper level also has header ventilation courses, and all openings feature cambered heads. The south-west farmyard elevation includes eight ground floor windows (two of which are blocked), eight doors, four loft openings (one of which is blocked), and a loft door. The roof of the stables is supported by king-post trusses.

The shelter shed is situated to the south-west of the barn and has ten bays, articulated by brick piers with chamfered corners on its south-west elevation. It features three external chimneys with offsets on the north-east farmyard elevation, which were added when the building was used as accommodation for hop pickers. The interior roof has tie-beam trusses with raking struts, and much of the timber in the roof is re-used, including what are likely former cruck blades.
