Description
The Grove Barn is a farm barn dated 1723, constructed from red brick and covered with red pantiles. It features a four-stead threshing barn design, with the east front divided by two rows of honeycomb ventilation hole windows arranged in seven bays across two storeys. There are off-centre boarded cart doors, a first-floor platband, and a brick dentil eaves cornice.
The south gable is designed as three storeys, with a ground floor plinth, two blocked openings, a platband, and two honeycomb brick openings with boarded shutters. It also has an eaves level platband with two honeycombed openings, a central arched stone plaque inscribed with "IL 1723," a blocked opening above, and an apex owl hole. The barn includes purlin irons, kneelers, and crow-stepped gables. The north and west fronts broadly repeat these architectural features.
Inside, the barn has a four-bay roof with tie beams supported by internal brick piers, some of which have wall posts and struts. There are three ranks of butt purlins per bay and double collars, but no ridge beam. Single-storey brick and pantiled barns are located to the north, while the barns attached to the west are not of special interest.
