Barn And Farmbuildings Adjacent (At Entrance To Village)

This is a barn and two adjacent farm buildings located at the entrance to the village of Standon, dating from the late 18th century. The barn is timber-framed and weatherboarded, resting on a red brick sill laid in English bond, topped with a steep slate roof. The lower buildings, constructed in the 19th century, are also timber-framed and weatherboarded, featuring slate roofs. A red brick wall with dark diaper decoration forms the rear wall of the southern range along the roadside.

The barn is a tall, four-bay structure with a low gabled porch on the west side, positioned in the second bay from the north. It has double doors on the east side of the same bay, along with a small door in the porch. The barn features unjowled posts with bolted knee-braces and mid-height rails that are tennoned in line. Its queen-strut clasped-purlin roof lacks collars.

This barn is a significant feature in the distant views of the church and village from the south and west, and the decorative wall serves as an enclosure at the entrance to the village along Paper Mill Lane. It was formerly associated with the farmhouse now known as Nos 66 and 68 High Street.
