Oakley House Barn

Oakley House Barn is a stable that has been converted into an outbuilding, dated 1758, with later additions and alterations. It is constructed of red brick in English bond and features a reed thatch roof, forming a four-bay range and is single storey. The front has two blocked doorways beneath segmental arches, one later doorway beneath a rough segmental arch, an original ventilation loop, and a 20th-century garage doorway that incorporates the right-hand reveal of an original window. The rear has four blocked ventilation loops. The left end has four ventilation loops and two blocked windows with former segmental arches. The gable displays a limestone datestone inscribed "1758 GRM" beneath a tiny segmental arch, with lozenge-shaped honeycomb ventilation above it. The gable parapet features tumbling-in and a semicircular apex. The similar right end has six loops and a shaped owl hole above. The ventilation loops are uniquely designed, each forming an "I" with serifs and median notches. Inside, the roof consists of three tie-beams with straight braces onto wall posts that have ovolo-moulded terminals. There are five pairs of principal rafters with collars, with only the central truss corresponding to a tie-beam, and two tiers of wedge-tenoned butt purlins.
