Description
This is a barn located to the northwest of Folly Farm House, dating from the 18th century and early 19th century. It features a timber frame with a brick plinth and weatherboarding. The barn has a half hipped thatched roof with a small central chimney, and the thatch is swept up over the entrance doors. There is a hipped semi-circular roof over an open-sided space designed for a horse-operated threshing machine. The barn consists of five bays with aisles on both long sides, and there is a later addition of a roof over the horse machine that is at right angles to the main structure. The barn has central double doors and some simple irregular 20th-century casements set within the weatherboarding. A brick extension to the west is noted as being of no special interest.
