Ivy Farm Barn

Ivy Farm Barn is a barn said to date from the second half of the 16th century or early 17th century. It is constructed of coursed, squared clunch with red brick dressings and features a red pantiled roof. The barn is divided into two storeys externally. The north front has one ground floor and six first floor irregularly spaced rusticated brick rectangular openings, along with one open rectangular window. There are four irregularly spaced brick buttresses with set-offs. The barn includes two inserted 20th-century cart entrances and two 20th-century lean-to additions on the east and west sides. The east gable has a ground floor door, first and second floor brick-dressed openings, a brick lozenge in the apex, brick end quoins, and tumbling. The west gable has similar details with a 20th-century addition below. The roof is a double frame multiple bayed structure of unusual construction, featuring massive raised cruck-like elbowed wall posts with collars, a separate frame above with wind-bracing, upper collars, butt purlins, and a central ridge.
