Description
The barn located 30 meters south of Home Farm Cottages dates from the late 16th century or early 17th century. It features a weatherboarded timber frame set on a tall dressed flint plinth, with limestone and ironstone dressings. The roof is made of clay plain tiles and has half-hipped ends, along with some early crested ridge tiles. The barn has a seven-bay design with two aisles and a central threshing bay, which includes a later midstrey on the south side. There is an early 19th-century outshut on the west end.
On the exterior, the north side facing the yard has a full-height cart entrance in the center and later windows added to the left. The south side features the midstrey at the center with a hipped roof, and there is a brick outshut on the west end with a slate hipped roof.
Inside, the barn has an unusually complete frame made of large scantling. It includes seven bays and two aisles, with arcade-posts that have large cut jowls and straight braces connecting to the arcade-plates and tie-beams. There are raking queen-struts to the collars, two tiers of in-line butt-purlins with straight wind-braces, and common-rafter couples with a ridge-piece. The aisle-ties are unbraced. The wall-framing consists of studs, rails, and tension-braces, with central wall-posts in the end walls. Some of the original threshing floor boards remain, and a complete set of carpenters' marks is still visible.
