Description
The linked barns located approximately 40 metres northeast of Wattisham Hall are two timber-framed structures with tarred weatherboard cladding, brick plinths, and steeply pitched roofs covered in asbestos cement. The southern barn, which is wider and consists of five bays, features central 20th-century sliding doors in a widened opening, a boarded door to the left, and a hatch to the right, each with a smaller opening above. The south gable includes a loft door, and there is a central rear projection with three bays and a pantile roof, which has a door on the north side. The northern barn, comprising three bays, has two stable doors on the west side, with alterations made to the heads of the doorways. The north gable features a pair of large 20th-century doors clad in corrugated iron.
Inside the southern barn, the structure is primarily of standard stud construction, with a mid-rail and down-braces, jowled posts, and many arched braces replaced by knee braces. The southern bays are partly lined with lath, plaster, and render, while the north end has a boarded wall. The roof is a common rafter type with a single clasp purlin and wind braces. The late 18th-century rear projection is of similar construction but lacks braces and is partly lined with 19th-century matchboard. The northern barn, largely made of reused timber, has studs without a mid-rail, supported by a sill beam and brick plinth, and features a common rafter roof with a clasp purlin and wind brace.
