Description
This barn, located on the roadside to the east of The Tun House, dates from the 17th century or earlier, with a front made of 18th-century brick. The structure features a timber frame that is dark weatherboarded, complemented by a red brick façade facing the road. It has a steep old red tile roof and consists of four bays, running parallel to and facing the road to the south. The red brick is laid in Flemish bond with random black headers. There are small, high-set two-light windows with segmental arches and a plank door. The second bay from the east is open as a carriageway leading to the rear, which likely represents the original midstray. The opening has a heavy frame and iron gates at the rear. The barn includes jowled posts and a clasped-purlin roof with two purlins on each slope; the upper purlin is supported by a collar, while the lower is held up by heavy inclined straight queen-posts.
