Barnaby Farmhouse

Barnaby Farmhouse is a 16th-century farmhouse, built in two or more phases, with a service wing at the rear that forms an L-shape. The front range features a parallel rear addition from 1948. The building is timber framed and plastered, with the ground floor facade covered in whitewashed brick. The roof is pantiled, except for the inner slope of the rear wing, which is plaintiled. There are signs of alteration at the junction of the two sections. The farmhouse is two storeys high with an attic in the front range, featuring three windows with old casements on the first floor and mid-20th-century casements under segmental arches on the ground floor. The entrance door is a mid-20th-century panelled design. An external stack, likely from the 17th century, is located against the left gable end. The service wing has various casement windows and an internal stack with a plain red brick shaft.

Inside, the maid room in the front range has a cross-beamed ceiling, with a bridging beam showing evidence of short braces to the wallposts, and very heavy, closely spaced plain joists. There is an open fireplace in the gable end. The chamber above features good studding in the rear wall and long solid braces to the central tie beam. The roof over this section was replaced around 1700. The right-hand room of the front range is accessed through a 4-centre arched doorway with leaf-carved spandrels, which appears to be original. This room has an open fireplace with a mutilated embattled lintel. About one metre behind the stack is a bridging beam with broach stop-chamfers. The upper floor has plain studding, and there is a three-bay chamber behind the stack with two cambered open tie beams—one arched-braced and the other without evidence of bracing. The roof is a wind-braced clasped purlin design.
