Description
The barn at Brook End Farm, located 35 meters to the northeast of the house in St Ippollitts, dates back to the 17th century. It features a timber frame set on a red brick sill, with dark weatherboarding and a brick casing on the lower part of the south gable. The steeply pitched roof was originally thatched but is now covered with slate. This tall barn has four bays and faces west, with its south gable oriented towards the road. There is a double door located in the second bay from the south. The structure includes jowled posts, unjowled mid-bay posts, a staggered mid-height rail, straight tension braces, long straight braces to the tie-beams, and convex curved queen-struts to the collar. Each roof slope has one purlin. The barn seems to have originally been a symmetrical five-bay structure before a bay was removed from the south end.
