Description
Barn Meadow Farm is a former farmhouse dating from the 16th to 17th century, likely built in four phases. It features a long main range with a service wing that is set forward to the right. The building is timber framed and plastered, with the gable end of the service wing constructed from 17th-century colourwashed brick. The roof is pantiled, with glazed black tiles on the front slope of the main range.
The farmhouse has two storeys and an attic, with scattered windows that are mainly late 19th-century casements, each with a single horizontal glazing bar. The gable end of the service wing includes two small attic window openings, one of which is blocked, while the other has a two-light window. There is a six-panel raised and fielded door, and the main range has an internal stack, with a gable stack on the wing.
On the left gable end of the main range, there is an early 19th-century doorway featuring a convex reeded architrave with corner roundels, a reeded cornice, and paired half-glazed doors; this doorway is now part of a later lean-to conservatory. The main range has a core from the 16th century, which was likely extended by one bay at the right end where the service wing is located. The earlier section has a blocked diamond-mullioned window in the rear wall.
The current stack and the parlour cell beyond were added around 1600, and the roof has three bays with two rows of wind-braced butt purlins, the lower row set square. In the early to mid-17th century, the 16th-century range was raised by about 0.4 meters, with the roof featuring two rows of butt purlins (the upper row stepped) and straight plank wind-bracing. The front range, which is the last major phase of construction, dates to the mid-17th century and also has a butt purlin roof. The ground floor of the main range has undergone early 19th-century alterations, which largely conceal the original structure. There is an early 19th-century parlour fireplace with a rope-pattern surround and corner roundels.
