Description
This building is a barn and attached stable, located 40 meters north-west of Hill Farmhouse, dating from the late 17th century. The structure has three bays and features one aisle on the north side. It is timber-framed and covered with weatherboarding, topped by a corrugated iron roof that was once thatched.
At the center of the north side, there is a gabled porch, although the barn doors are missing. The barn's framing is complete, showcasing tie beams with long archbraces at open trusses, and straight braces connecting posts to arcade plates. There are rudimentary passing-braces in the aisles, which are nailed and possibly a later addition along with the porch. The roof is a clasped purlin type, and the studding includes long arch windbraces, with two primary braces at the corners.
At the east end, there are additional structural members, including girths and braces, where the barn connects to the stables. The stables have a Roman pantiled roof and still retain their stable doors, while the barn doors are missing. The framing of the stables is of a slightly later style, indicating that they may have been rebuilt or extended in the 18th century using some reused timbers. The building is noted to be in poor condition at the time of the survey.
