Barn About 40 Metres North East Of Henhurst Farmhouse

This barn, located about 40 metres northeast of Henhurst Farmhouse, dates from the late 17th century or early 18th century. It is timber framed and weatherboarded, with a plain tile roof. The structure features five timber-framed bays and possibly an integral rear lean-to, topped with a half-hipped roof. There are full-height double doors at the rear (east) and a porch at the front with boarded sides, a hipped plain tile roof, and full-height double doors rising from the front lean-to.

Inside, the barn has gunstock jowls on the principal posts, and the roof is supported by closely-staggered butt purlins just below the collars, with intermediate collars towards the gable ends. Most of the original studding and tension-braces are still intact. The wall-plates exhibit splayed-and-tabled and edge-halved scarf joints. Additionally, there is boarding across the end of the lean-to on the south side of the porch that is dated 1755 and 1769. Henhurst Farmhouse itself is not listed.
