Barn 20 Metres West Of Southwood Farmhouse

This barn, located 20 meters west of Southwood Farmhouse, dates from the late 17th century and was remodeled around 1800. It has five bays and is constructed with a timber frame that is weather-boarded. The roof, originally thatched, is now covered with corrugated asbestos. On the north side, there are four boarded doors from the 19th century located in the central bay, along with a gabled 19th-century porch and other extensions on the south side. The barn features full-height studwork with arch wind-bracing, and long tension braces were added later. The roof is supported by butt purlins, and the original arch-braces at the open trusses have been replaced with 19th-century knee braces. The walling at the west end underwent significant remodeling around 1800. This barn is included for its group value.
