Description
This building is a former barn attached to the north end of Number 43, known as The Tithe Barn, located 30 metres southwest of Number 33, Barn Cottage. It dates from the 17th century and has been adapted into three domestic properties in the early 20th century. The structure is timber-framed, featuring a black weatherboarded lower part of the wall with plaster above. The roofs are covered with red interlocking tiles for the barns and red pantiles for Number 35A.
The complex consists of a long range of two barns facing east, with a lower pitch-roofed building (Number 35A) extending eastward from the northern end of the eastern front. The northern barn has three bays and an entrance featuring a glazed screen with a four-centred headed door. It has a clasped-purlin roof structure, with one purlin on each slope, unjowled posts, and strainers positioned between the purlins. The current northern aisle is an addition, indicated by head mortices for wall timbers in the former rear wallplate.
The southern barn, known as Number 43, is a four-bay structure that is wider than the northern barn. It also features a clasped-purlin roof, collar and queen-strut trusses, and long curved braces extending from the unjowled posts to the tie beams. There is a corner-tie on the wall plates at the southwest corner, and part of the barn is floored. An early 20th-century porch is also present.
