Barn Immediately East of the Old House

The barn immediately east of The Old House is a Grade II listed structure dated 1701. It is a weatherboarded timber-framed barn built on a tall brick and flint plinth, topped with a corrugated-iron roof featuring gabled and half-hipped ends. The barn has four bays and originally had opposing cart entrances in the center of the north bay. Currently, it has double doors for the cart entrance on the left side of the west front, a doorway to the left of center, and a smaller cart entrance on the right.

Inside, the barn features wall-framing with large studs and tension-braces at the corners. It has jowled posts with thin straight braces supporting the tie-beams, which are complemented by queen-struts that clasp the purlins. There are no collars on the trusses, but thin intermediate collars are present between the trusses with birdsmouth joints connecting to the purlins. The barn retains straight wind-braces, intact common-rafter couples, and some remaining thatching battens, although the wall-framing in the south end has largely been replaced. Carved into the center south tie-beam are the initials R.C. and the date 1701. A loft floor was inserted into the north two bays in the 19th century, and at the back of the north bay, there is a wooden trough. This barn is an unusual dated example of an early 18th-century timber-framed structure and has group value with its surroundings.
