Barn 10 Metres East Of Little Beacon Farmhouse

This is a 16th-century barn located 10 metres east of Little Beacon Hill Farmhouse in Navestock. It features a timber frame with low brick walls and weatherboarding above. The roof is gabled at the east end and half hipped at the west, covered with factory-made flat tiles. The barn has five bays and includes a midstrey at the second bay from the west. There is a 19th-century extension at the southwest with a pantiled roof and a 20th-century wooden window.

Inside, the earliest framing can be seen at the west and east ends. The west end has widely spaced studs that are tension braced, along with grooves for wattle and daub. The east end features arched bracing and halved and bridled scarfs. Some areas have been re-walled in a style typical of the 17th and 18th centuries. The roof is of the 17th and 18th-century butt purlin type but was rebuilt in the 19th century to a lower standard. The 19th-century extension includes an old brick floor in part. The barn is part of a group with Little Beacon Hill Farmhouse.
