Barn And Adjoining Stables At Standon Lodge Farm

The barn and adjoining stables at Standon Lodge Farm date from the late 17th century. They are constructed of red brick and topped with steep old red tile roofs. The barn is a tall structure with five bays, featuring piers beneath the trusses and a central gabled porch facing south. At the rear, there is a lean-to bay where the upper part of the wall is timber framed and weatherboarded. The walls have rows of vertical ventilation slots, with six rows in the west gable below the gable parapet, which has corbelled kneelers. Inside, the king-post trusses are of pegged construction and include diagonal struts that support two staggered butt-purlins on each slope.

To the north of the barn, there are two lower two-storey brick stable buildings that extend in line from the west end of the barn's rear wall. These stables feature a raised floor band, stable doors, and cross-windows set under segmental arches. There is also a four-panel door leading to the upper floor, a smaller window to the right, and a door below. The end building is lower and has twin high segmental arched blocked openings in the gable end, along with a floor band and an opening above, suggesting it was designed to function as a coach house with a hay-store above.
