Description
This is a barn located at Mere Farm, approximately 34 metres south-southwest of Mere House, dating from the mid-18th century. The barn features a weatherboarded timber frame made of softwood, resting on a tall brick plinth, and has a corrugated iron roof with five bays. There is a central cart entrance on the north side, with fragmentary remains of a midstrey opposite, and an owl hole in the west gable.
Inside, the barn has tension bracing in each bay, although the frame is largely obscured by the corrugated iron. The roof structure includes tie beams with knee braces, wedge-tenoned butt-purlins with a ridge piece, lap-jointed collars, and intermediate principal rafters that do not have tie beams. The barn is part of a group with Mere House and another barn located approximately 22 metres west-southwest of Mere House.
