Description
Long Barn is a 17th century barn that has been converted into two residences. It features a timber frame and is covered in black weatherboarding, topped with a ridged, gabled, tiled roof. Inside, there is a heavy oak frame with a queen-post roof, bladed scarfs, and an integral first floor that includes haunched tenons. These characteristics suggest that the barn was originally used as a granary.
