Barn About 10 Metres South Of Bartons Farm Cottages

This barn, located about 10 metres south of Bartons Farm Cottages, dates from the early to mid-17th century. It is timber framed and weatherboarded, standing on a stone plinth, with a corrugated iron roof. The structure features five timber-framed bays and a central midstrey, topped with a gabled roof. The barn has central full-height double doors and a later lean-to shelter attached to the left gable end.

Inside, the barn showcases gunstock-jowled posts, and the tie-beams are not morticed for arch braces. The roof is a clasped-purlin type with diminishing principal rafters, short almost straight windbraces, and vertical queen struts supporting the collars. There is one brace for the threshing floor, and each bay has a tension brace, with a pair of braces at each gable end. The south gable end features stave, lath and daub infilling above the midrail, while the rear wall has similar infilling with broad boards below. There are mortices for a diamond mullion window with a shutter groove under the right gable end tie-beam, and chamfered midrail soffits. The right end bay was formerly floored and has a partition under the tie-beam, with an edge-halved wall-plate scarf joint.
