L-Shaped Outbuilding West of Rooks Nest Farmhouse.

A farm outbuilding dating from the mid-to-late 17th century, with minor 20th-century alterations and additions. It is a timber-framed structure with feather-edged boarding, set on a brick plinth laid in English bond. The rear roof slopes are covered with plain tiles, while the inner slopes have 20th-century corrugated sheeting.

The building is L-shaped, composed of two barns built at right angles to each other—the west part aligned north-south, and the south part aligned east-west—each with a porch opening onto the yard.

The north elevation of the south range, which is five bays wide, has a hipped east end. A central gabled porch with a fully boarded front has a 20th-century door inserted. A 20th-century lean-to infill is located to the east of the porch. The south elevation has two square taking-in openings below the eaves and a blocked doorway above the plinth.

The east elevation of the west range, also five bays wide, has an altered north gable where the sole plate has been removed and the tie beam is supported by a 20th-century post. A gabled porch in the centre has 20th-century framed, ledged, and braced double doors. A 20th-century lean-to infill is on the north side of the porch. The west elevation has an altered double doorway, now fitted with 20th-century sliding gear.

Inside, each range comprises five fully-framed bays with jowled principal posts set on lap-jointed sole plates, mid-rails, wall plates with face-halved and bladed scarf joints, and arch-braced tie beams. Above are clasped principal purlins supported by raking struts, collar beams with clasped collar purlins and ridge collars. The rafters are mostly oak. At the junction of the two ranges, the brick plinth's angle appears unaltered, suggesting a single building phase for both barns, and the wall plate at the internal junction shows no evidence of carrying rafter feet. The building appears to have been designed as two barns working together on two sides of an enclosed yard. It forms a group with the adjacent farmhouse.
