Barn and Farmyard Buildings About 10 to 25 Metres South East of Ripple Court

This description pertains to a barn and farmyard buildings located about 10 to 25 metres southeast of Ripple Court. The structures date from around 1600 and the early 19th century. The barn is timber framed and weatherboarded, resting on a base of red brick and flint, with a roof made of corrugated iron and asbestos. It features a half-hipped roof with a raking mid-strey. The east end wall is now open, while the west end has a gable with a kneelered parapet. Inside, the barn consists of 8 bays with aisles, passing shores, undercut jowls on the arcade and wall posts, and eccentrically placed, thin, deep bracing. The roof has been renewed with clasped purlins. Attached to the west end is a courtyard wall, approximately 8 feet high, which includes an early 18th-century granary and a 17th-century stable that was rebuilt in the early 19th century. The stable features a plinth, plat band, a plain tiled roof, two half doors, and some remaining interior fittings. The wall and farm buildings are adjacent to the outbuildings in the rear courtyard of Ripple Court.
