Barn And Stable Block 20 Metres West Of Bramley Cottage

The barn and stable block, located 20 metres west of Bramley Cottage, dates from the 18th century for the barn and the 19th century for the stable block. The barn is timber framed, covered with weatherboarding, and has a roof made of corrugated asbestos. The stable block is constructed from flint and red bricks, also topped with a corrugated asbestos roof. It features six bays aligned north-south, with a midstrey to the east of the third bay from the south end. The stable block includes a hay-loft over the eastern side of the southern bay. There is an open lean-to shelter with a slate roof situated between the midstrey and the stable block, dating from the 19th century. The stable block's walls are divided into panels of flint rubble, interspersed with sections of red brickwork, with four panels at each level on both long elevations. The quoins, jambs, and arches of the windows and doors are also made of red brick. Inside the stables, the original herringbone brick floor and iron mangers are preserved. The barn features pegged construction, primary straight bracing, straight tiebeams, hanging knees, and a clasped purlin roof, and it remains unusually unaltered. This building is included for its group value with Bramley Cottage and Touchwood.
