This is a 17th-century barn located north-west of Numbers 2 and 6 on Roxton Ford Lane. It is timber framed, primarily covered with weatherboarding, although there are areas with rough cast and brick infill. The barn features a steeply pitched half-hipped clay tile roof and consists of a 5-bay, aisled structure with a queen post roof. Some of the internal posts have been recently encased in brick. There are cart entrances on both the west and east elevations. Later farm buildings are attached to the east side.
