Long Barn at St Margarets Farm 50 Metres East North East of Farmhouse

This is a 17th-century barn located 50 metres east-north-east of the farmhouse at St Margarets Farm in Stanstead. The barn is timber-framed and weatherboarded, facing south, with a gabled slate roof. It features a 20th-century porch covered in corrugated iron. The barn has five bays and is unusually wide-spanned without aisles. It includes long curved braces to the tie-beams and a face-halved bladed scarf in the front wallplate. The low-pitched roof has clasped purlins from the 19th century. Notably, there is a 19th-century trussed beam where a bay post has been removed for access in the front wall, which includes cast iron struts and an exposed tension bar on the underside. The barn is part of a picturesque farmyard group and contributes to the setting of The Clock House to the north.
