Description
King's Barn is an 18th-century timber-framed building that is weatherboarded and features a hipped roof made of slate and corrugated iron. The barn consists of four bays and has a single aisle, with a tiled and weatherboarded outshut on the northern side. It includes a gabled porch with double entrance doors. There are also later weatherboarded and slated outbuildings that are grouped with the main barn.
