Barn 40 Metres South East Of Perces Farmhouse

This is a barn located 40 metres south-east of Perces Farmhouse, dating from the late 16th century. It is timber framed and weatherboarded, with a roof made of corrugated asbestos, resting on base walls of red brick laid in English bond. The barn has five bays aligned northeast to southwest, and features an 18th-century midstrey to the southeast. The main roof is half-hipped while the midstrey has a gabled roof.

Inside, there are jowled posts and arched corner bracing within heavy studding. The wallplates show edge-halved and bridled scarfs, and there are arched braces supporting the tiebeams. The roof structure consists of a butt-purlin system with additional clasped purlins in the upper pitches.

At the southwest end and in the southeast wall adjacent to it, the wall framing has been renewed using lighter studding and primary straight bracing. There is a brick partition that reaches tiebeam height to the southeast of the central bay, enclosing the arched braces. The midstrey interrupts the wallplate and features unjowled posts and primary straight bracing. Perces Farmhouse itself is not listed.
