Barn and Stable Block About 30 Yards South of Ham Farmhouse

The barn and adjoining stable block, located about 30 yards south of Ham Green Farmhouse, date back to the 17th century, with alterations and additions made in the mid-19th and mid-20th centuries. The structure is timber-framed with brick infill and is partly weatherboarded, sitting on a sandstone base, topped with a corrugated asbestos roof. It likely consists of five framed bays arranged in a north-west to south-east orientation, featuring a wagon bay that is the second from the north-west end, which has opposing cart entries that are now blocked. The framing includes a single row of panels visible at the eaves level on the south-east end, long straight braces in the lower corners, and collar and tie-beam trusses; the truss at the south-east end has two struts to the collar and raking struts in the lower corners. The main north-east elevation has two doors, and there is access to the loft at the south-east gable end. The interior has not been inspected. There are 20th-century additions to the south-west elevation. The six-bay stable block is attached to the north-west bay on the north-east side. This building forms a group with Ham Green Farmhouse and is included for its group value.
