Description
This is a 17th-century barn located about 25 metres south-east of Reed Court. The barn is timber-framed and partially clad in weatherboarding and corrugated iron. The left three bays have a stone plinth, while the rest have a red brick plinth. It has a plain tile roof. The barn comprises eight timber-framed bays with both front and rear aisles, built at a right angle to the road. Midstreys are located in the third and sixth bays from the left (facing the road). The roof is half-hipped. There is a porch to each midstrey at the front, with double doors below the midrail, weatherboarding above, and a hipped roof that juts out, supported by brackets. Inside, the principal posts have shaped jowls. It features arch-braced tie-beams, staggered butt purlins with vertical queen struts to the rafters, and re-used rafters from a medieval roof. There are almost straight braces to the arcade plates, and raked queen struts to the aisle rafters from the aisle tie-beams. Curved passing shores are trenched past the queen struts and aisle ties. Face-halved arcade-plate scarf-joints are also visible.
