Barn To The South East Of Street Farmhouse

The barn located to the south-east of Street Farmhouse, which was formerly listed as the Barn at Street Farm, dates from the late 13th century to the early 16th century. It is timber-framed, with some areas rendered and others weatherboarded, and features clay pantiles. The structure consists of three bays, with an entry and threshing-floor in the middle bay, and a later lean-to addition at the rear. A 20th-century floor has been added at one end, but the rest of the barn has always been open to the roof.

Inside, the barn showcases a high-quality frame with heavy close-studding and a middle rail. The south end wall has ogee bracing, with the braces halved to the outer surface of the studs. There are housings for diamond-mullioned windows in the soffit of the wallplates, although the interior is now fully studded. The bays are separated by two impressive open trusses featuring cambered tie-beams, which are supported by solid, plank-like arched braces resting on small moulded and embattled capitals atop the main posts. Below these capitals, small square shafts extend down the face of the posts.

Each tie-beam has an empty mortice at the top, suggesting that crown-posts were once present, but the current roof is a late 19th-century replacement. A smaller cambered tie-beam, along with later studding, indicates that the wall at the north end is a later addition and that the barn originally extended for at least one more bay.
