Description
This is a barn range, dating to the later 17th and 18th centuries. It consists of three barns arranged in an L-shape. The earliest barn, situated alongside the road, has a gabled cart entrance facing the farmyard, with a jettied gable supported by straight brackets. It is weatherboarded and has a plain tile roof. Inside, it features a queen strut roof. The base of the barn is tall and constructed of brick and flint, with a plinth. A barn dating to the 18th century adjoins it at a right angle, spanning five bays, with the three bays on the east side open. It has narrow scantling. A further barn from the 18th century is located to the south, but has been significantly altered.
