Granary 50 Metres North-West Of Woodbarns Farmhouse

The granary located 50 metres north-west of Woodbarns Farmhouse is a late 17th-century structure that was extended in the 18th century. It is timber-framed and weatherboarded, with a roof covered in interlocking concrete tiles. The building has an almost square plan, with the ridge aligned north-west to south-east, parallel to the road. There is a single-storey extension to the east. The granary is adjacent to 19th and 20th-century farm buildings to the north-west, south-west, and south-east, which are not of special architectural or historic interest.

The granary consists of one storey and a loft, featuring a hardwood frame with two posts in each side wall and one in each end wall, in addition to corner posts, all unjowled. It has heavy studding with primary straight bracing, although some studs in the north-west and south-east walls have been removed for access. A continuous line of 20th-century casements faces the road.

Inside, there is a chamfered axial beam with lamb's tongue stops, along with two bridging beams on each side of the axial beam. These bridging beams are joggled, chamfered with lamb's tongue stops, and have elegantly profiled ogee curves and steps at the ends nearest the axial beam, which is a rare feature for an agricultural building. The plain joists are of vertical section, jointed to the bridging beams with soffit tenons and diminished haunches, and are pegged. The floor is 2.74 metres above ground level, just below the wall plates. The steep roof is of joggled butt-purlin construction, with two internal collars that have been severed. Carpenters' assembly marks are scribed with a race knife. The roof, which was originally thatched, suffered fire damage around 1965. While some rafters have been replaced with softwood, most are original and slightly charred at the apex. When it was last used for agriculture, this building was referred to as 'the seed barn'. The extension to the south-east is of lighter construction, also in hardwood, featuring a steep hipped roof that is similarly weatherboarded and tiled.
