Description

The barn at Red Cow Farm, located 30 metres to the northeast of the house, dates from the late 16th century to early 17th century, with a gabled rear extension added in the mid-17th century. It features a timber frame set on low brick sills, covered in dark weatherboarding, and topped with steep old red tile roofs. The barn has three tall bays facing west into the farmyard, with a double doorway in the middle bay and a tall gabled extension at the rear to the east, which includes a high small door.

Architectural details include jowled posts, long straight braces connecting to cambered tie-beams, and inclined heavy queen-posts that support a single clasped-purlin on each slope, featuring simple splayed scarf joints. There are long straight wind-braces extending from the gable ends only. Additionally, there are mortices under the wallplate indicating former wall studs at the rear of the middle bay. Notably, the barn displays an unusually late use of edge-halved scarf joints with bridled butts in the wallplate.
