Barn About 40 Metres North West Chainhurst Farmhouse

This barn, located about 40 metres northwest of Chainhurst Farmhouse, dates from the late 17th century and has undergone some alterations over the years. It is constructed with a timber frame and is weatherboarded, standing on a brick plinth. The right gable end features brick infilling with a herringbone frieze between widely spaced studs beneath a midrail. The roof is covered with plain tiles and has a hipped design with gablets. The barn consists of four timber-framed bays and includes a rear aisle, positioned at right angles to the road. The second bay from the left has full-height double doors, while the left gable end has a pivoting six-pane casement, double doors, and a stable door. Inside, the barn features cut jowls on the principal posts, straight braces to the arcade plate, and a clasped-purlin roof with diminishing principal rafters, which incorporates re-used medieval rafters. The barn is included for its group value.
