Description
Church Farm Barn is a 17th-century barn that has been converted into a house, with 18th-century cladding added. The conversion took place between 1982 and 1983. The structure is timber-framed and clad with red and grey brick, while the front elevation of the left end bay features buff brick in Flemish bond. It has a plain tile roof and consists of five timber-framed bays, which originally included a central midstrey, with an additional bay added to the south. The barn has front and rear aisles and is 1 1/2 storeys high, topped with a half-hipped roof.
A gabled porch, which rises from the aisle to the right of the center, has a weatherboarded gable and a paned window in place of doors. The upper storey is lit by irregular fenestration, which includes seven windows apart from the porch: one four-pane light with a segmental head on the left addition, one three-light casement, and four vertical slit lights. There is also a further two-light casement within a blocked doorway at the left end, along with a ribbed door towards the right end and ribbed garage doors at the right end.
Inside, the barn features exposed framing, long shaped jowls, arch-braced tie beams, and arcade plates. The roof is a clasped-purlin type with diminishing principal rafters and vertical queen-struts to the collars. The arcade-plate scarf is edge-halved, and there are high aisle tie-beams and curved passing shores. The carpenters' marks visible on the structure are scribed and chiselled, dating from the same period as the barn's construction.
