Description

Compton Hall Farm Barn is a farm barn built around 1800, attributed to architect Samuel Wyatt for the Holkham Estate. The structure is made of flint, gault brick, and red pantiles, consisting of three threshing barns arranged end to end, forming a total of nine bays. It has a two-storey external elevation. Each of the three barns features a tripartite design with central cart entrances that have brick rustication, segmental arches, and plastered tympanums supported by lintels over boarded cart doors. There are flanking arched windows with brick rusticated surrounds.

A first-floor plat-band with round arch lunettes runs along the building, and all openings originally had brick honeycomb ventilation infill, though many are now blocked. The barn has brick corbelled eaves with dentils and brick rusticated end quoins. The west gable has a substantial plinth due to the sloping site, with ground, first, and attic level plat-bands. It features one ground floor arched window and two upper round-arched lunettes, all with original honeycomb brick ventilation infill and rusticated quoins. The barn is aligned with Compton Hall Farmhouse to the south, forming part of a symmetrical model farm layout.
