Barn About 30 Metres North West Of Great Cheveney House

This building is a barn located about 30 metres north-west of Great Cheveney House. It dates from the early 16th century or earlier, with additions made in the mid 17th century and the 19th century. The barn is timber-framed, featuring mid 17th century red and grey brick infilling on the front (south) elevation of the 16th and 17th century sections. The right side is mostly covered with weatherboarding. The 19th century addition has red and grey brick in Flemish bond on the ground floor, with weatherboarding above. The roof is covered with plain tiles.

The original 16th century barn consists of four timber-framed bays, with one bay added to the left (west) in the mid 17th century, three bays added to the rear on the right at a similar time, and two additional bays added to the left in the 19th century. The 19th century addition is two storeys high, built on a brick plinth, while the rest has a stone plinth. The brick infilling is divided by studs and lacing pieces into broad irregular rectangular panels, and there is a herringbone eaves course. A large initial "G" is worked into the brick, likely representing George Maplesden, who died in 1688. The roof is gabled on the left and hipped on the right, with the hip returning to the rear and a lower ridge. There is a loading hatch on the first floor and a broad boarded door on the ground floor of the 19th century addition. A virtually full-height boarded door is located on the third timber-framed bay from the right, and there is a 19th century porch at the rear.

Inside, the 16th century section features gunstock-jowled posts with short arch braces to the tie-beams, plain crown-posts with head and foot braces, and lapped collars. The 17th century single bay has shaped jowls and a clasped purlin roof with two windbraces. There are tension braces to the former gable, cut jowls, and a clasped purlin roof with straight windbraces in the rear "wing". Part of the rear wall has stave, lath, and daub infilling above the midrail.
