Description
Duck End Barn is a barn built around 1800. It features a timber-framed structure sitting on a red brick base, with a weatherboarded exterior and some 20th-century brick infill. The roof is made of clay tiles. The barn has a five-bay plan and includes a hipped projecting porch at the center of the east elevation. This porch is flanked by later single-storey lean-to shelter sheds that have pantiled roofs.
