Description
Wilderness Farm Barn is a threshing barn with attached stabling, originating from the late 16th century and altered in the 18th century. The exterior is weatherboarded on a concrete brick and sandstone plinth, and it has a corrugated iron roof, although it was originally thatched. The barn consists of five bays and features double doors. It has 16th-century gunstock, jowled posts and a queen post roof without a ridge piece, supported by diagonal tension braces. The first bay was originally floored over, and the barn was constructed from west to east, as indicated by the direction of the pegs and chiselled carpenters' marks. An early 19th-century weatherboarded stable is attached to the northeast, featuring a queen post roof with through purlins and a ridge piece. The barn is included in the listing for its group value only.
