Description

These are two barns located about 50 meters south-southeast of Hyde Hall Farm House, dating from the late 16th century. They feature a red brick casing over a timber frame and have both slate and tiled roofs. The barns are arranged in an L shape, with one barn having five bays and the other seven bays.

The gable end facing the house is two stories with an attic, showcasing a plinth, a ground floor entrance, and two three-light double chamfered rendered brick mullioned windows on the first floor. There is also a chamfered oculus in the attic and a coped gable parapet, all designed to reflect the style of the earlier Hyde Hall. The outer elevation on the left return includes a plinth, an entrance, three ground floor two-light double chamfered oak mullioned windows, and one additional window on the first floor. The tiled roof slope has a hip at the rear angle of the far barn, which features inserted casements and an open bay. An additional bay has been added to the far left, with weatherboarded double doors and a slate roof.

On the right return from the gable end facing the house, there are inserted casements and an open bay, with a slate roof slope. The inner angle has a square projection with a weatherboarded gabled head. The inner elevation of the far barn includes two double doors and a weatherboarded open shed projecting towards the house. Inside, the structure features braces from jowled posts to tie beams, angled struts clasping lower purlins, and collars to principals with upper butt purlins.
