Description
Barnard's Farmhouse is a house dating from around 1600, with alterations made in the 20th century. It is constructed with a timber frame and has a plastered exterior, topped with handmade red clay tiles. The house has three bays facing northwest and features an almost central stack. There is a 20th-century slate-roofed single-storey lean-to extension that runs the full length of the rear, along with a smaller lean-to beyond it. The building stands two storeys high.
On the northwest elevation, there is one 20th-century casement window on the ground floor. The northeast elevation includes three 20th-century casements on the ground floor, two on the first floor, and a 20th-century half-glazed door to the left of a gabled porch. The house features grouped diagonal shafts that are plastered, jowled posts, and heavy close studding. Inside, there are chamfered axial beams with lamb's tongue stops and plain joists of horizontal section. There are two large wood-burning hearths, one of which has minor repairs to the brickwork, and the mantel beams are chamfered with lamb's tongue stops.
On the first floor at the front, there is a blocked original window with two ovolo mullions, although the saddle bars are missing and there is a shutter groove. Other original windows are also blocked, with missing mullions and shutter grooves. The roof structure features clasped purlins.
