Description

The two barns at Leez Priory Farm are 16th-century structures made of red brick, originally built as two-storey buildings. They are located to the south of Leez Priory and are no longer part of the property. The barns face each other and feature timber-framed and weatherboarded porches. Both barns have tiled roofs and retain several original windows. The barn on the east side has five bays, while the barn on the west side has six bays. These barns, along with other nearby structures such as the Inner Gatehouse at Leez Priory and the kitchen garden walls, form a significant group.
