Description
The barn located to the north of Orchard Farmhouse dates from the early 18th century. It is constructed of red brick in English Bond and features a roof covered with double Roman tiles. The gable walls above the tie-beam level are timber-framed and weatherboarded, with square ventilation openings on both the long and end walls. The barn consists of three bays, with an entrance in the middle bay and a contemporary porch on the north side. Inside, the divisions between the bays are marked by straight, unbraced tie-beams. The roof is arranged in seven bays in a 3:1:3 configuration, with the central bay being significantly wider than the others. It includes two rows of stepped butt purlins, and straight windbraces in the second, third, fifth, and sixth bays that incline towards the middle bay. The structure features large, deep principal rafters, flat common rafters, and a deep, narrow ridge-piece. The barn is oriented sideways to the road.
