Description

This barn, located about 15 meters west-southwest of New Lodge House, dates from the late 18th century. It is timber framed and weatherboarded, standing on a red brick plinth laid in English bond, with a plain tile roof. The structure features eight timber-framed bays, with a midstrey in the third bay from the north and possibly another in the sixth bay. The roof is half-hipped, and there is a porch with a hipped roof and full-height double doors positioned to the right of the center. A lean-to extends across the entire front side, open to the front on posts resting on brick padstones.

Inside, the barn has cut, bevelled jowls on the principal posts and short straight braces to the tie-beams. The roof structure consists of a clasped-purlin common-rafter design with a ridge-piece, vertical queen struts to the collars, and unstrutted intermediate collars. The studding and straight tension braces are virtually unaltered. Above the midrail, there is lath and straw daub infilling in the two bays flanking the porch. The three bays at the left end are floored, with a loading door located at the left gable end. The lean-to has a clasped-purlin roof with curved raked queen posts.
