Barn At Lower Farm (30 Metres To South East Of House)

The barn at Lower Farm, located 30 meters southeast of the house, dates back to the 17th century. It features a timber frame that has been raised on a blockwork plinth and is weatherboarded, topped with a steeply pitched roof now covered in corrugated sheeting. This tall, six-bay, single-aisled barn faces north and has a rear aisle with three bays infilled. A gabled front porch is situated at the third bay from the west. The structure includes jowled posts with long slender curved braces connecting to the tie-beams and arcade plate, as well as aisle ties. The roof, which was formerly thatched, has an inclined Queen strut clasped-purlin design, strengthened by a lower purlin supported on bearers between the principal and Queen strut.
