Barns And Attached Stables And Stocksheds At Bayfield Brecks

The barns and attached stables and stock sheds at Bayfield Brecks date from 1799 and the 19th century. The western barn is constructed of uncoursed flint with random bricks and features brick dressings, a decorative dentil cornice, and pantiles on the roof with gable parapets. It has six steads, with large doors under segmental heads at the 2nd and 4th steads, blocked brick ventilation slits, and an owl hole in the west gable. There is one low window with cast iron glazing bars and a segmental head, along with an outshut to the south. Inside, there are opposing arches to the south that are now blocked in the outshut, and the roof, dated 1799, includes a tie beam, king post, and struts from collars, with straight braces from the eaves to the collars.

The attached barn to the east, built in the mid to late 19th century, is made of brick and uncoursed flint with a corrugated roof. This aisled barn has a lower roof pitch over the aisles, a king post roof, and piers made of cast iron. It features a large doorway in the east gable and another large doorway with a segmental head in the same gable. There are segmental-headed windows with cast iron glazing bars, which are now shuttered, including one above the door and one on each side, with similar smaller openings below at ground level.

To the south, there are three attached ranges from the mid to late 19th century, all with corrugated tile roofs. The eastern range is made of brick and has an attached open-sided stock shelter to the west supported by cast iron piers. The central range is constructed of uncoursed flint and is open-sided to the west, also with cast iron piers. The western range is made of uncoursed flint and includes a coach house to the south and stables to the north, which retain their original fittings. There are two windows under segmental heads with cast iron glazing bars.
