Description

High Barn is an 18th-century barn that was converted into a pair of cottages in the early to mid-19th century, with remodelling occurring in the mid-20th century. It has four bays and two storeys. The building has a timber frame with plastered walls, displaying exposed framing and plaster infill along the front elevation, and featuring primary-braced studwork. The thatched roof is punctuated by a 19th-century brick chimney. The windows are mid-20th century casements, and a single-storey 20th-century entrance porch with a hipped thatched roof is located on the right side. A 17th-century moulded plank door with vertical glazed slats provides access. Inside, the 18th-century tiebeams of the open trusses still have long arch braces. The second bay from the west lacks original studding, instead featuring arch braces beneath the tie beam, an indication that the building originally incorporated a porch at that location. Although altered in the 20th century, the barn is notable as an early example of a farm building converted into dwellings.
