Barn 10 Metres South East Of Ashes Farmhouse

This is a barn located 10 metres southeast of Ashes Farmhouse, dating from around 1700. It features a timber frame, with walls primarily covered in weatherboarding and partly clad with corrugated iron. The roof is made of corrugated asbestos. The barn consists of five bays aligned northeast to southwest, with a two-bay midstrey on the southeast side.

Attached at the southern angle is an early 19th-century ancillary building made of red brick in Flemish bond, topped with a roof of red clay pantiles. There is also a 20th-century large farm building that connects to the midstrey on the southeast, which encloses large doors. The southwest gable end, facing the road, is clad with corrugated iron, while the rest of the barn is weatherboarded. The lower half features much of the original tarred hardwood boarding, while the upper half has softwood boarding that has replaced the original wattle and daub infill.

The main roof and the midstrey roof are both half-hipped. The barn has a jointed and pegged hardwood main frame, arched braces to the tiebeams, and primary straight bracing in the walls. The roof structure includes clasped purlins, and the original great doors remain in the midstrey.
