Description

The Barn House is a house consisting of two sections, with the western part dating from before 1700 and the eastern part from around 1700. It is constructed of brick, flint, and clunch, topped with red pantiled roofs. The building is two storeys high and features seven windows. On the ground floor, the southern side has five sashes with glazing bars on the west and two 20th-century arched-headed casements on the east. The first floor has five sashes with glazing bars and two casements, along with a plat-band. The entrance door is topped with a gabled pentice supported by brackets. The end gables have brick coped parapets and stacks, with a single ridge stack. The eastern gable includes a 20th-century lean-to on the ground floor and two first-floor casements set under skew-back arches. There is a plat-band at the attic level, but the attic window is blank. The northern side features flint with brick dressing on the west and clunch with brick dressing and a first-floor plat-band on the east.
