Barn About 35 Metres South West Of Den Farmhouse

This barn, located about 35 metres southwest of Den Farmhouse, dates from the late 16th century or early 17th century, with a later addition, likely from the 19th century, on the right side. It is timber framed and weatherboarded, sitting on a rendered stone plinth, and features a plain tile roof. The structure consists of six timber-framed bays, positioned at right angles to and set back from the lane. The four bays on the left (south) are from the late 16th or early 17th century, while the two bays on the right, one of which is very short, were added probably in the late 18th or 19th century.

There is a midstreys to the fourth timber-framed bay from the right. The roof is gabled on the left and half-hipped on the right. Full-height double doors are located towards the centre, with a low single door at the right end and a small two-light casement window beside it. At the rear, there is a lean-to that is open to the west, supported by posts on padstones, creating five bays. Wooden feeding troughs are present in the two left end bays.

Inside, the barn features gunstock-jowled posts and arch-braced tie-beams, although the tie-beam between the two added bays has been truncated. The clasped-purlin roof with windbraces, diminishing principal rafters, and vertical queen struts to the collars belongs to the late 16th or early 17th century section. The right end bays have a clasped-purlin roof with a ridge piece made from smaller timber. The principal posts are ledged for cross beams that once supported a floor in the two right bays, and there are mortices for partitions under the corresponding tie-beams. Additionally, there are mortices for diamond mullion windows beneath the wall-plates of the right end bays of the earlier section, although the timber may have been reused. Tension braces are located above the midrail, and there is a two-light mullion window with a pegged cill at the right gable end. Den Farmhouse itself is not listed.
