Description
Barley Hill is a 15th-century timber-framed building featuring a jettied upper storey at the front and a later gabled wing at the south end. The timber-framing is exposed and filled with plaster. The building has two storeys and is fitted with casement windows that have lattice leaded lights. A modern gabled porch, designed in a style that matches the period, projects from the front. The roof is tiled and includes an external chimney stack on the north wing, which has two diagonally set shafts that have been rebuilt.

It experiences an average of 29 freeze-thaw cycles a year, fewer than 67% of listed buildings. Of these, 14 follow at least 1 mm of rain in the preceding 48 hours. Average temperatures at this location have risen by 0.3°C per decade since 1991.
