Barn About 50 Metres West South West Of Strickland Manor Farmhouse

This barn, located about 50 meters west-southwest of Strickland Manor Farmhouse, was built in 1772. It is constructed of English bond red brick with a tumbled brickwash finish and features a parapeted gable. The roof is made of clay pantiles and has gabled ends.

The barn has a five-bay plan, which includes ten narrow roof bays. The central bay contains a threshing floor, and there is an unusually large midstrey at the front. In the left angle of the midstrey, a stable with a loft above was likely added in the 19th century, while a single-storey outshut was also probably added in the 19th century in the right-hand angle.

The east front features a large gabled midstrey with a relatively small doorway that has a segmental brick arch and plank double doors. Above the doorway, there is a ventilation slit and the initials "R.C" displayed in large wrought iron letters. To the left of the midstrey, the stables have a central doorway and a small loft doorway above, with a weatherboarded gable. To the right, the outshut has a lean-to roof made of corrugated iron.

The rear, or west elevation, has a central full-height cart entrance with plank double doors and a ventilation slit to the right. There are also ventilation slits in the end gables, with the right-hand (north) gable displaying the date "1772" in large wrought iron numbers. The southwest corner of the barn is supported by two later brick raking buttresses.

Inside, the walls are made of exposed brick, and the original roof structure remains intact. It consists of ten narrow bays with principal rafters, two tiers of staggered butt purlins, morticed collars, and tie-beams. There is a complete set of common rafters without a ridgepiece or ridgeboard, and a similar three-bay roof over the large midstrey. The roof is largely unaltered, except for the addition of two later inserted king-post trusses.
