Harrisons Farmhouse And Attached Barn

Harrison's Farmhouse and attached barn is a farmhouse and barn complex dating from the mid 16th century, with significant alterations in the 17th century and repairs and additions in the 18th and 19th centuries. The farmhouse features a timber frame that has largely been replaced with brick and has pantile roofs, including an off-centre brick ridge stack and a truncated end stack. The barn, built in the 18th or early 19th century, is constructed of brick with a corrugated roof.

The farmhouse has a three-unit lobby-entry plan, with the original stack from the mid 16th century recast in the 17th century and a renewed roof using the original cambered ties. It is two storeys tall with an attic and has a two-window range of three-light leaded casements above two-light and three-light casements flanking a panelled door. There is a lean-to projecting forward on the right side. The rear facade features a three-window range of three-light casements above two three-light casements flanking a four-panel door, all under brick arches with cambered lintels and a storey band. There is also a door and a two-light window to the right.

Inside, the farmhouse has roll-moulded spine and transverse beams in the former hall and parlour. The 17th-century stack includes a fragment of an original bressumer but has been much altered. The stack side features a star with three 17th-century turned balusters. The former parlour chamber has a blocked seven-light window with roll-moulded mullions. The service end is divided from the hall by a former stud partition that has been replaced with brick. The interior also includes wide chamfered beams and a transverse joist at the junction with the 17th-century brick rebuilding or extension, which has ogee and nicked chamfer stops. The original mid 16th-century six-bay roof, with cambered ties linked by spine bridging beams with wide chamfers, was recast in the mid to late 17th century with straight wind braces, butt purlins, and collars.

The barn, which is a three-bay structure, was added to the left gable end of the farmhouse and incorporates doorways on the ground and first floors leading to a cartshed with a room above. The roof features arch-braced ties made from reused wall posts.
