Barn And Stables Adjacent At Plashes Farm (40 Metres To North East Of House)

The barn and stables adjacent at Plashes Farm, located 40 meters to the northeast of the house, date back to the 16th century, with the western stable range featuring a stone plaque marked '1857'. The barn is constructed with a timber frame set on a brick sill, covered in weatherboarding and topped with a steep old red tile roof that is half-hipped at both ends. Surrounding the yard to the south are low ranges made of diapered red brick with slate roofs. There are slated weatherboarded lean-to sheds against the south wall of the barn, arranged symmetrically around a gabled central porch. The barn itself is a tall, five-bay single-aisled structure facing south. It has heavy jowled posts with long, slightly curved braces connecting to the arcade plate and cambered tie-beams. The roof features clasped purlins with heavy queen struts and lacks collars. The arcade plate includes a face-halved bladed scarf joint. Aisle tie-beams and peninsula brick sills, along with sill-plates, support the aisle posts, and wall rails are tennoned in line. The brick stable ranges have doors that open onto the enclosed yard.
