Fairview

Fairview is a former range of farm buildings, comprising a barn, granary, stables, and cart lodge, dating to the 17th and 19th centuries. The buildings are timber-framed and weatherboarded, with a roof primarily covered in handmade red clay tiles, alongside some machine-made red clay tiles.

The barn is a three-bay structure aligned northeast-southwest. The main section dates to the late 17th century, with a mid-18th/19th century midstrey to the northwest. Adjacent to the northwest is a two-bay building, the original purpose of which is uncertain, likely a byre with a granary above, extended in the 19th century. Two lean-to garages have been added to the southeast, and are not considered to have architectural or historical significance. To the southwest of the barn is a 19th-century stable and cart lodge. The barn features 20th-century great doors on older hinges to the southeast and northwest, with original winnowing boards at both. The main roof is half-hipped at both ends, and the tiles were replaced around 1985.

The interior of the barn features a hardwood frame jointed and pegged with heavy studs, primary straight bracing, unjowled posts, and straight tie-beams, where bolted hanging knees replace earlier arched braces. The roof is a clasped purlin roof with rafters pegged at the apices without a ridge-piece. The midstrey has face-halved and bladed scarfs in the wallplates, and short arched braces above the great doors. The two-bay building to the northeast has heavy arched braces from each main post and interrupted nailed studding. A plinth of red bricks in English bond, which is not original, runs along the base. There is a chamfered axial beam and heavy joists of vertical section jointed to it with soffit tenons with diminished haunches. The partition to the northeast does not align with the bay posts, creating a section that is partly 17th century, and partly 19th century. The roof has been rebuilt. Unusual carpenter's assembly marks, gouged with a race knife (an uncommon feature for the 17th century, potentially indicating an earlier origin), are visible, along with a symbol resembling a cross of Lorraine gouged into a brace of the southeast wall approximately 2 meters above ground, which is not part of the assembly system.

The stables range to the southwest of the barn retains an original plinth of stock bricks approximately one meter high, with thin studding and primary straight bracing above. The northeast portion comprises stables, while the southwest portion is a cart lodge.
