Description

This barn, located about 40 metres south of Parsonage Farmhouse, dates back to the 18th century. It is timber framed and weatherboarded, standing on a brick plinth, with a hipped roof made of corrugated iron. The structure features four timber-framed bays, with aisles at the front and rear. There is a midstrey in the second timber-framed bay from the right, and a porch with a lean-to corrugated iron roof that rises from the aisle, complete with double doors that are weatherboarded above. To the right of the porch is a small door, and there is a low door at the rear.

Inside, the barn showcases cut jowls on the principal posts, arch-braced tie-beams, and arcade plates. The roof is a clasped-purlin common-rafter type. The aisle wall-posts are jowled, and there are curved braces connecting the aisle tie-beams to the backs of the arcade posts. Almost straight tension braces are present on the studded aisle walls, with outer tension braces on the right gable end. The arcade-plate scarf joint is face-halved.
