Description

The L-shaped range of barns located immediately south-east of Blickling Hall is a pair of barns that have been converted into an estate workshop, village hall, and public toilets. They date from the 17th century and have undergone significant alterations and subdivisions over time. The barns are constructed of red brick and feature steeply-pitched pantiled roofs. They are single-storey and have a distinctive L-shaped layout.

The western and southern elevations display Dutch gables, although the pediment is missing from the south gable. The openings have been extensively modified and rearranged; the south wall of the western range includes three inserted windows with glazing bars, a semicircular-headed door opening with a fanlight, and a pair of boarded doors. To the right, there is a large waggon-entrance doorway flanked by three plain brick pilasters. An extension on the north-west corner has a catslide roof. The south range features 20th-century windows and door openings, along with 20th-century staged buttresses topped with tile copings. The barns are included for their group value.
