Barn At Exeter Stud 40 Metres East Of Exeter House

This is a 17th-century barn located 40 metres east of Exeter House. It features four bays constructed from painted clunch with brick quoins and has diamond-shaped patterns of ventilation holes made from red brick. The roof is half-hipped and covered with pantiles, and the gables are timber-framed and weather-boarded. On the south side, there are a pair of full-height doors located at the second bay from the western end. The barn is defined by portal frames, with arch-braced tie-beams supported by free-standing posts just inside the external walls, resting on timber sole-pads. The roof has nine bays that do not correspond to the portal frames, featuring principal rafters with lower butt-purlins and upper clasped purlins, which include wind braces and collars. A hay loft was added to the west end in the 20th century. The buildings attached to the barn on three sides are not of special interest.
