Description
The barn at Ruston's Farm, located approximately 5 metres west of the farmhouse, dates back to the 16th century. It is a timber-framed structure with sections of brick infill and weatherboarding, topped by an old tiled gabled roof. The barn consists of six framed bays, with the second bay from the north now serving as an entrance to the former yard. Inside, it features a queen post roof supported by large curved braces, and the posts have jowls. The barn has been repurposed as a domestic store.
