Description
Churcher's Barn is a house that dates back to the 16th century and was encased and extended around 1800. It features a timber frame with plaster or flint infill, along with tile-hung or brick encasing and additions, topped by a thatched roof. The building is 1½ storeys high and originally consists of a single bay from the 16th century, with a stack bay and two additional bays added in the 18th century. The front facade is 1½ storeys and has five bays, with the two left bays being from the 16th century.
There is a central ledged plank door set in a solid frame, which is sheltered by a large nipped hood supported by timber posts. The left bays are tile-hung, featuring either fishscale or plain tiles on the upper half. Each bay contains a three-light casement window, except for the right bay, which has a smaller two-light casement. Above each bay, except for the center, there are two-light eyebrow dormers. The roof is half-hipped and has a stack at each end of the ridge, along with a large central stack in an H-section style from the 18th century. At the rear, the frame is exposed, showcasing close studding with flint infill on the lower half and plaster infill in wider square panels above.
