King-post roof, of a rare form clearly related to that in the rear wing of the adjacent farmhouse (Item No 2/112). Principal rafters in the form of crucks, curving inwards above collar level to form straight braces to each king post. There were plank braces from the king posts to the ridge piece, now mostly gone. Just above the collars is a row of side purlins, set against the outside of the principal rafters. Roof altered to hipped form at north end.
