Description
The building is a 17th-century barn located in Kings Somborne, converted into a house in 1981. It is timber-framed with weatherboarded walls resting on brick plinths and piers, and has old plain tiles to the roof. The barn originally had seven bays, projecting beyond the walls, and is now converted, with one wall rebuilt and positioned inside the main posts. A central hipped midstray porch, now open on all sides, is present on one side of the barn. Inside the doorway are canted bays, each projecting under the roof. Velux windows are set into the hipped roof. The original timber frame remains largely intact, featuring a queen-post/queen-strut roof with straight braces to the ties, mostly left exposed.
