Barn Aligned North South 30 Metres South East Of Chevers Farmhouse

This is a barn from the early 16th century, located 30 metres southeast of Chevers Farmhouse. It is aligned north-south and consists of four bays. The structure is timber-framed and weatherboarded, featuring some 18th-century cable-pattern pargetting on the remaining plastered areas. The roof is made of corrugated asbestos, which was once thatched. There are various boarded doors from the 19th and 20th centuries. The barn displays good 16th-century studwork with tension wind-bracing and has a coupled-rafter roof that is hipped at the south end. Inside, there are two arch-braced open trusses. The timber-framed north gable wall likely represents a remnant of an earlier building to the north. This barn is unusually small and may have originally been built for stabling or as a cow-house.
