Description
Kings Barn House is a house dating back to the 17th century or earlier, with 20th-century additions and alterations. It features a crosswing to the left with a thatched roof and a dormer window, and an addition to the right with a plain red-tiled roof. The house is primarily timber-framed and plastered, with a three-window range of casement windows. A 20th-century gabled porch is positioned centrally. An off-centre square red brick chimney stack is also present. The group value of this building lies in its contribution to the character of the area.
