Barn At Hackwood Farm

The barn at Hackwood Farm is an 18th-century L-shaped structure comprising two sections. The earlier section, oriented north-south, features six bays with aisles, while a later addition on the west side (south end) consists of eight bays with aisles. The barn is timber-framed, with the older wing covered by an old tile roof that is half-hipped, and has cantilevered hipped roofs above the entrance located in the third bay from the north. The truss includes struts to the upper purlins and both arched and straight braces to the tie-beams, with the frame supported by brick base walls that also separate the aisles. The walls are weather-boarded, with the lower portion constructed of red brick. The larger east-west unit features a taller Queen Post truss and is topped with a corrugated iron roof, which has hipped tiled sections above the cantilevered entrances at the second and third bays, with red brick walling in header bond.
