CRESSING BULFORD MILL LANE TL 72 SE (north side) 1/46 Bulford Barns (formerly 21.10.82 listed as Barn approx. 40 metres north-west of Bulford Farmhouse)

GV II

Wrongly shown on OS map as Bulford Farm. Barn, undergoing conversion to a dwelling at time of survey, September 1986. Circa 1700. Timber framed, weatherboarded, roofed with corrugated asbestos. 5 bays aligned NW-SE, with 2-bay midstrey to NE. Unjowled posts, jointed and pegged main frame, with girts and primary braces. Face-halved and bladed scarfs in wallplates. Arched braces to tiebeams replaced by bolted knees. An unusual transitional feature is that in the middle of each bay at each level is a heavy stud, tenoned and pegged to the horizontal members; the other studs are lighter and are tenoned but not pegged, and side-nailed where they abut on braces. Joggled butt-purlin roof, originally half-hipped, now gabled. At the NW end the hip rafters and collar are complete; at the SE end only the hip-collar remains.
